About me I'm a librarian between libraries. My secret dream is to open a bookshop (but doesn't everybody want to do that?). Meantime, I'm happy thinking about the custom bookshelves I'm going to have made for the house I'm eventually going to own. Currently I'm travelling in Europe (and missing my LibraryThing conversations!), so I might not be getting to any comments for a while. But, I'll be back, I promise you! (BTW, I finally finished War and Peace. Rock on!)
About my library This is our "UK" library, so just what we've bought since living in London for the last 4 years. We're moving back to NZ later in 2008, so I'll finally get to amalgamate this list with the dozens of boxes back home. Not all of the books here are mine, some (read: sport, fantasy, Jeremy Clarkson) belong to the lovely hubby. It's pointless to try and split them though, since we do read each others books from time to time.

"Hibiscus Coast' by Paula Morris is a recent one - a bit of a thriller and set firmly in Auckland. Again a bit slow in the beginning but some memorable characters and some good tension.

p.s. Did you love Atonement and Saturday as much as I did?
