Q: Where is your favourite spot to read at home? What makes it such a good reading corner? 

A: I love reading at my desk - it looks right out into the garden and is next to my bookshelf.

Q: What is it about your reading corner that allows for stillness and escaping to another place?

A: I would say you have to curate that sensation - it doubles up as where I do my makeup and work so when it's time to read I light a candle, get in my dressing gown and settle down in silence.

Q: What time of day is sacred reading time for you?

A: I just read whenever I can as I'm all over the place usually - when I commute tends to be my favourite time to read as it feels like a productive use of time. 

Q: How do you display books at home? Do things have an order or process to them?  

A: I have two bookshelves - a big one in my living room and a smaller one in my bedroom and there's no rhyme or reason as to how they're displayed! 

Q: The elusive question - how do you decide what book to read next? 

A: I'm sent several books a month, so usually read them based on hype but not general hype, hype from my friends who are all telling me to read the same thing.

Q: What is the reason for putting reading at the centre of your life? 

A: Reading is constant learning and that's something I always want to be at the centre of my life.
