Hello!
One of the things that make me happy are truly great books that you can completely fall in love with, so far in love that you get through the book in days and are truly saddened when you come to the last page, unable to convince yourself you will ever find a book just as good that will promise the same feelings of complete escapism and euphoria experienced. Bookworm that I am, filled with 'booksense and no common sense', finding books that really stimulate you are hard to find, and nothing is better than curling up on the sofa with a large blanket, some hot chocolate, and some soft background music and reading a book that you've grown to love, each page well and truly thumbed with eager anticipation of what happens next.
The other thing I love is getting lost in a library or a charity shop. Since the recession has pretty much locked down most of the major chains when it comes to bookshops, they are the next best thing, and there's something that makes it a whole lot sweeter when you find a good couple of books that are truly amazing if they are free and on loan, or pre owned from a charity shop at unbelievable thrifty, gorgeous prices.... For me, nothing's better than taking a lazy sloooow sunday morning to get lost in a [rather large] bookshop, armed with a starbucks coffee for good measure. It makes me look semi intelligent, and in my view, this is never a bad thing.
