Paper Memories

I'm a fairly patriotic person, especially when it comes to British literature, so I've selected some books about Britain or by British authors that I recommend!  1. The curious Incident of the dog in the  night-time by Mark Haddon 2. A street cat named Bob by James Bowen 3. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen 4. Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte 5. N-W by Zadie Smith 6. Nineteen Eighty Four by George Orwell

I am a thorough believer in the phrase "an organised desk makes an organised mind", so here are some handy hints to hopefully set you on the wonderful path to organised-ness! 1. Weekly Declutter!

City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare was given to me by  a friend, I have previously read the first book in the Mortal Instruments series and enjoyed it heavily- this book was much the same. Admittedly, I may have bought this book due to peer pressure from my mother but nonetheless I have heard excellent things about The Book Thief by Markus Zusak and am keen to read it before the movie adaptation's release on the 3
