About meI was born in the Highlands of Scotland, went to school in Glasgow, and I now live in England. Nowadays I only read to be entertained and I'm unlikely to offer any reviews or criticisms.
About my libraryThe books are mostly the result of my travels, education in literature and reading modern book reviews.
LocationEssex, England
