I love reading and I am so pleased to have been able to pass that love of reading on to my boys. Â Mini has always been a ferocious reader, but Maxi was a reluctant reader up until the last year or so. Â One of the things to remember as a parent is that reading doesn’t
Even though we have read to or with the boys most nights since they were born, Maxi has been a reluctant reader for as long as we can remember. Â However, Mini was a very early reader and has devoured books since he could read his first word. It has been really hard to find books
We love books  and the boys are allowed to ask for books for Christmas according to our mantra:

We have so many books in the Mad House that we had to buy a new book case for Mini’s bedroom last week. Â Not that I am complaining. Â I love that he is a book worm and I really wish that Maxi would have the same relationship with books that iIni does. Both the boys
We love books in The Mad House and one of my favorite times of the day is when we read to each other.  As the boys are growing up I still feel it is important to read to them and I am aware that sometimes the length of books is daunting to younger children if they want to read them themselves,
I think that a reading list is a perfect snapshot of where we all are in life, so have decided to do a regular (ish) post on what books are gracing our bedside tables, coffee table, hands and kindles.

The time has come to bring the advent box out of the loft and with it all of our Christmas and Advent books.
Some info about the book club:
The Tots100 Book Club is where bloggers share their favourite stories. Every month, the Tots100 invites 10 bloggers to tell us about stories that have moved and inspired them – and to share their favourite books with a nother blogger. Each month, they’ll be publishing a round-up of the Book Club’s recommendations over on the Tots100 site, meaning you need never be short of great reading inspiration again!
I love books, we have them everywhere all round the house. But often my most thumbed books end up beside my bed. The ones that I dip in and out of for inspiration, enlightenment and sometimes my general well being. These are the books that make me happy each and every day and night.
So it got me wondering if this was the same for the rest of you and decided being the nosy person I am , I would love to know what books you keep by your bedside
