About meHi I live in Birmingham, UK and am an active and very keen bookcrosser.

I love reading and adore books. I collect Agatha Christie 1st editions - although I can't afford the very rare ones -and they are cataloged here too.

About my libraryAll the books I put on Librarything will be books I see as my permanent collection - and so either not registered on bookcrossing or not up for swapping just yet. Therefore there will be far fewer books listed here than on bookcrossing.com but the ones here will be my most beloved and precious books.

Hi Ali

I stumbled upon your library this morning via you review of Maps for Lost Lovers. Can't believe I didn't spot you before this given the number of books we share. I have added your library to my list of interesting libraries.
Hi Ali,

Just wanted to thank you AGAIN for The Making of the Marchioness!
It's one of those stories that sticks around long after the pages are closed.
I'm now interested in reading Gerzina's bio of FHB!

Hello Ali!

Thanks for adding my library to your list of cool books. I've added yours as well. I've enjoyed
our time together in the Persephone group and look forward to seeing more of you! Do you collect
Virago Modern Classics? From what I've gathered about you, it seems that you might. Anyway,
do have a look. Miss LyzzyBee is amongst us there and it's great fun.

Kind regards,
Cate
I just came to say hello, because LyzzyBee mentioned you. :)
Hi, you have written some good, though short, reviews, but you are collecting blue flags for reviews which just say TBR or Crime Club etc. The problem with this is that when you get round to writing proper reviews for those books, the flags won't go away, which is a pity but that's the way it is. Better to put TBR or Crime Club or whatever in the Comment field, or as a tag.
Hi, I'm an Agatha Christie collector too, although I prefer the old Pan and Fontana paperbacks to the less affordable 1st eds!

It was actually your review of 'We need to talk about Kevin' that made me come and look at your collection; I couldn't agree more with your assessment!
