Lily’s World

Hi! I am Lily from the one and only Lily’s hobby lobby. I am 10 years old and I live with my mother, father, and my younger brother in Virginia. My blog is about my hobbies which include reading, art, baking and origami. So far I have mostly written about books I have read. Reading is a very important part of my family’s daily routine. Everyone in my family loves to sit in a cozy corner with a book.

 Books have given me incredible knowledge, intellect, excitement and great life lessons. I wanted to share all that I learnt from books with all of you. You know how that saying goes “If you have knowledge, let others light their candles in it” (Margaret Fuller). So I hope you will find my book reviews /summaries interesting and may be you will feel tempted to read those books as well.

Please feel free to give your positive comments that can help me improve.

I look forward to this adventure J
