About me I read to live other lives and visit other worlds. I have been doing it for as long as I remember and it is as natural as breathing now.

About my library Mostly fiction, but with good sprinkling of history and biography. Lots of women authors and mainly British writing. I collect Persephones and Virago Modern Classics and I also have a weakness for old Penguins.

My library is what I own and can locate - there are always a good few books around the house waiting to be found a home and catalogued.
