Monthly Roundup - May 2012

Farewell May! Another month gone and I've still been sleeping on the job! Hopefully the start of the Victorian Celebration will renew my enthusiasm and I'll feel more inspired to write about what I'm reading. The icy hands of winter are upon us and the cold days and long nights are perfect for curling up with a good book.
