I’ve been back from my travels for almost three months and already life has thrown another adventure my way. I’m very happy to announce that I am moving to Prague in July! It’s been one of my favourite cities since living there for nine months back in 2008 and I can’t wait to get back.

I’ll miss London, especially my local area and, of course, my local bookshop, but I am looking forward to spending lazy days in beer gardens and getting to know new people and places. I also can’t wait to have some more space. The new flat will have a sofa, bedside tables and a dining table – items of furniture my boyfriend and I have missed a lot. We’ll also have room for some bookshelves so I don’t have to squash my reading pile on to half broken shelves like this…

A big move always means having to say goodbye to books and I have been lugging lots over to the Oxfam Bookshop across the road. However I do still have quite a few left over. Hmm… I think I need a bigger suitcase…

I already have some favourite bookshops in Prague, but have only written about the Globe. So hopefully you’ll be seeing some more bookshop reviews on the blog in the next few months.
