Table of Contents - The WoodsieGirl Shelf

The Woodsie Girl Shelf

You've probably noticed the wonderful reviews (and recent Man Booker Shortlist Challenge) cropping up by the fabulous WoodsieGirl (Laura) - book clubber, cake baker and Very Awesome Person. 

We've decided that it's only fair that we give her a little space...in the hopes of conning more stuff out of her! Ha ha, I'm only kidding of course. 
Honestly.

Being suspicious makes your heart smaller. 

Here you'll find all our WG reviews, poetry picks, playlists (as soon as I ask her)and more!

About our contributor (doesn't that look official!)
Laura, aka Woodsiegirl, learned to read almost before she could walk and has never quite recovered from the realisation that the real world isn't like the stories. She tweets occasionally as @woodsiegirl, and blogs about books and life (in that order)here.

So, we all knew it had to happen.

Though all of our Guest Stars are AWESOME BEYOND THE SAYING OF IT - one in particular has been has been reviewing like a superstar and we think that deserves her own little space on the blog!

As many of you know - @Lainibop is one of my best friends and a HUGE reader and book lover. 
Visit her blog at Fizzy Elephants 
Where she chats about cookery, books, geek stuff and more!

This year she read about BOOKELF's To Be Read Challenge and set herself the task of reading the books on her shelves that she hadn't yet. All 130 of them!

Read more about Her To Be Read Challenge.

Now you all know me - as soon as I saw an opportunity - I exploited it. After a night of chatting, a bottle or two of wine down, I pounced!! 

And now you'll be able to follow her progress below as she's reviewing as she goes!! There's a real mix of books in her too - something for everyone!
