books written for girls (guest post by Diana)

34 comments
This is the very first guest post here on Much Love! I couldn't be happier knowing that it is written by one of my favourite bloggers: Diana of our.city.lights.

You don’t have to get to me very well to know I am avid reader and lover of books. I love holding them in my hands and the leisure of it all and of course, I was hesitant about the Kindle and digital reading. However, as much as I love the printed word, I'm also an advocate for reading, even if it means making it as technological possible for people who normally don't read. There is nothing like reading an actual book, especially when it's a classic. When I saw these classic books embroidered (one of my favorite hobbies) in a form of a purse, I literally held my breath. I love books, purses and embroidery- the combination is too much to handle…

I know what you mean Diana as I am almost hyperventilating because of too much loveliness!

And, also agree that any kind of reading is good for you and maybe it will prompt people unaccustomed to the joys of reading to give it a go and next time who knows they might pick up a nondigital book.

I'm a total book addict myself! A nice addition to the collection... some Madeline, Curious George, Winnie the Pooh... ;o)

These are so cool! and so Diana!

I joined a book club recently and that's been helping me to read more often. It's just one of those things that I need to stay in the habit of doing and I love it when I do :)
