Meet The Blogger! #ABitAboutMe #42Today

Good morning everyone it’s my birthday today so I thought it was a perfect opportunity for a meet the book blogger post! So here’s a little bit about me:

❤️My name is Joanna but a lot of people call me Jo or JoJo .

🧡I’ve been married for 14 years and have three kids aged 11, 8 and 6. I’m also an angel mum to a little boy called Christopher who came early at 24 weeks and sadly died at a few hours old.

💛I work as a book seller for Rossiter books which I absolutely love .  I’ve worked there for just under a year as it was my interview for the job a year ago tomorrow. I really enjoy talking about books with the customers and recommending my favourite books to them.

💚I’ve been a huge reader since I was small.  My dad was a huge reader and I have fond memories of him sitting at the kitchen table or in the conservatory reading.  My mum loves reading now too and I love sharing books with her

💙I read a huge variety of books and often say if the blurb intrigues me I’ll read it.  My favourite genres are historical fiction, fantasy and crime.

💜I help run the bookclub for Rossiter books which I really enjoyed as it’s fun sharing the books I’ve loved with others.  I’ve made some great friends there which is really nice and we’re all going out for a curry together on Saturday which I’m looking forward to.

🤍I started my book blog 9 years ago after encouragement from the lovely @thebookreviewcafe and Instagram a few years ago ( properly I actually joined at the same time as blogging bit never really used it). I’m still enjoying it and I’ve made some great bookish friends.

🩶 I don’t have many hobbies apart from reading apart from watching music on Twitch though I’m hoping to start walking more to help my high blood pressure and I’m starting Zumba again this Friday which I used to love pre kids.

I’m having a quiet morning with a few friends coming over to share some cake and then we’re going to my mum’s tonight for a meal which I’m looking forward to.
