I've narrowed it down to some that I really want, deciding which turns out to be the hard part. I've been looking at them for over a week now, where I think I've decided and then change my mind. All I know is that I must have one!  First one is Enchanted Forest by Johanna Basford         Been googling some images from there and looks pretty amazing.  The other one is ...

Name change!

Image
New year. New start.  I have been thinking about changing my name for a while and have just been looking for the right one that I felt would symbolize me. Therefore I decided to go with:  Booklover's Teaparty!  I'm really excited about the name. Felt there was no better time to do than to start off the new year with it. I chose it because, for one I love books, obviously.  The other part is the fact that pretty much every time I start a book I make either a pot or cup of tea- tea is always involved in my book adventures. To me there's nothing better than a good book and a cup of tea.  For a while I'll be making the changes around the blog, changing what needs to be changed.  I'll also be starting a new Meme on mondays with  Bookfever  called Monday Madness which I am also very excited about and it's starting off the whole change with the first post monday.
