About meI have two children, a girl and a boy, and love reading and buying books. I also love walking my dogs, Billy and Alice, and I have a passion for shoes. I live in Surrey, England and I work as a Customer Service Assistant. The picture is of my dog (my baby) Billy.

About my libraryI have varied tastes and will read more or less everything. I'm not too keen on romance or chick lit and I dislike mis lit. I love to read children's books as well. My librarything consists of books I/my daughter owns and books from the library.
