You know how I absolutely love a good story. Reading or listening to them, I will always crave something to really get into. When I read that BookBeat were looking for bloggers to work with them and promote their Audiobook service I jumped at the chance. Sometimes, as a mum, it's hard to find time to read.

It's not a threatening room. It's actually a place where I usually feel quite safe. One one wall is a large window. It's a little too high for me to see out of but it lets in lots of natural light.
