It's summer! And, whilst I'm usually one of the "Argh! Daylight! It burns!" people, I am very partial to a nice summery ice-lolly or (tub of) ice-cream whilst reading. Amy (of Golden Books Girl), Louise (of Book Murmuration) and I got chatting about which books we would match with each ice-lolly. I'm taking a lot... Continue Reading →
