Challenge: Day 30

I don’t really have a favourite coffee table book because, to be honest, we don’t really have many in my house. However, many years ago, we went to a family friend’s house and they let us take home any books we wanted, and I chose large coffee table books on birds and castles. My favourite one from that collection is a book on all the historic castles of Britain, with gorgeous photographs and lengthy history about the castles. I have a strong attachment to the history of royals and know so much about King Henry VIII and his family. The book pictured above is not the book I’m talking about, but I couldn’t remember what the book was called and this was the next best thing.

What’s your favourite coffee table book?
