Hello and welcome!

To those of you who have followed me over from Helen Loves Books, you’ll see that all my old content is still here (including your comments) – I wanted a fresh start with a new name and new look, but I didn’t want to lose all those reviews I’d worked so hard on!  If you’re wondering about the new name, see the quote at the top of my sidebar (it’s not completely true because I do sometimes read the Sunday papers, but I’m much more likely to spend my Sundays with a novel).

There is one other change that you might notice – I’ve made the decision to remove my five star rating system.  From now on my reviews will not be given conventional ratings, but if it’s a book I particularly enjoyed it will be marked as either Recommended or Highly Recommended.  Other than that, everything else is the same.

To those of you who are visiting for the first time and are wondering what I’m talking about, I have just moved from Blogger to WordPress.  I’ve successfully imported my old Blogger content but there may still be some broken links or things that just don’t look right – don’t worry, I’m going to be working on tidying things up over the next few days.

I hope you all like the new blog!

Hi, I’m Helen. Welcome to my blog. As I love reading and am constantly in the middle of one book or another, I’ve finally decided to join the world of book bloggers. Here at She Reads Novels I’ll be posting reviews, thoughts and opinions on the books that I read and on other literature-related topics.

Although I enjoy discovering new books, I’m also a believer in re-reading books. Sometimes I find that I need to read a book two or three times before I can fully appreciate it. Therefore I will also be reviewing some old favourites as I re-visit them, as well as books that I’m reading for the first time.

Most of the books I read are classics or historical fiction, but feel free to recommend anything you think I might like.
