About Me

Welcome to Left On the Shelf. I'm Annie and I live in the lovely South East of England. I started this blog in October 2013 as a challenge to myself to not buy any new books for a year. Instead, I read books that had been gathering dust on my shelf for years. I also read library books and books that were gifted to me. During the challenge I discovered how much I enjoy sharing my thoughts on the books that I read, and so my reading journey continues. If you are a publisher or author who would like me to review your book, then please email me at: leftontheshelf1@gmail.com
