About me'ello, and welcome. ^-^ I was never much good at introductions, but I think that goes for many others too.
I love both reading and writing, both of which are activities I'm reasonably good at. I have a habit of attaching textures to sounds and a bias against first person. (That doesn't stop me from enjoying first person narratives, but it does make it a lot more difficult.)
Uhm... I also enjoy singing, albeit off-key, and I have problems watching movies because my attention span wanders. I'm a cat-person and my home houses four lovely cats (and a dog).
Lastly, drop a note if you've any other questions. I don't bite, I promise. ^-^ (Also, if I don't know you and you could tell me why you're friending me, I would really appreciate it. Years of serial adders have made me a little paranoid in that respect.)
About my library*gestures at the collections* Need I say more? (Oh, yes, I do. "To Remove" are books that I do still have lying about, waiting to be taken away. I'm not on BookMooch or aught, but if anything strikes your fancy you're welcome to ask about it. ^-^)
Most of the books I own are in English and, despite being Dutch, the only books in that language that I own are those with youth sentiment. Dutch is... almost physically painful for me to read nowadays, so I try not to. (Most Dutch books listed are my parents'.)
Feel free to browse around or leave recommendations! (Also, if you disagree with a genre label or want to give me a shove in the right direction for the books I can't/couldn't place, please drop me a note! I'm still quite new to this whole labelling thing and have lots to learn!)
