Hello! Welcome to my blog, Once Upon a Bookshelf (uponabookshelf.blogspot.co.uk since the full title was already taken). My name is Rachel and I'm from the UK. This blog will be my little escape, a place to gather my thoughts and give my opinions. I'm not sure how many people will read it and I don't know how often I'll post, but lets see how we go. As you can probably tell from the title, this blog will mostly focus on books. I'm a massive book lover and always have been, but currently I'm doing my second year of A Levels so I don't have as much time to read anymore. Because of this, I'm going to aim to post at least once a month but I hope it'll be more than that! Well, that's the introductions over, on my part at least. As for you, what's your name? Where are you from? How long have you been blogging? I hope you enjoy reading my blog as much as I'm going to enjoy writing it. ♡
