About meSince I could read I've never been without a book on the go and reading novels and travel books is a big part of what I do. I am part of a book group in the North West of England, which constantly encourages me to widen my reading. I work in various charities and occasionally in the NHS, when I feel strong enough to cope with the bureaucracy.
About my libraryMostly I use Library Thing to keep a record of what I have read and what I have yet to read. We have been clearing our home of stuff, as we are about to move to a small flat and then go travelling for a while around Europe in our VW campervan, so Library Thing is one way to retain a book shelf, even if it is virtual. I find Read It Swop It excellent to swop books after I've read them.

I see you are a Lancastrian - I used to have relatives in Preston (in fact, I still have a nephew there now, just as I thought the family had died out up there!) so I feel a certain fondness for the place. I also rather envy you your up-and-coming tip around Europe. If you are going anywhere near Greece (my spiritual home, I do believe!) and can squeeze one more under the sink, just let me know. I hope you have a wonderful time.
Best wishes

Best of luck with the move! I know how irritating all that palaver can be - and, as you say, especially on the nerves of a cat!
I do have rather a lot of favourite authors, don't I? Sorry - I know that's a bit unhelpful. It's a list, going through my frankly-too-big and somewhat-overstuffed library, of writers whose works I'd snap up at the drop of a hat. Some I've loved having only read a single novel, but know that over the years I'll try to read them all (I try to ration out my favourites, so I don't exhaust their complete works too quickly!) - some I've gobbled up and know backwards. I'll happily direct you to some of my recommendations - what particular types of authors would interest you?

The Ceilidh Place and Stanfords! We have good taste although it is a while since I've been in either shop unfortunately. I couldn't find the photo you added to The CP page but maybe there is a delay in things showing up. I'll keep checking.
We do share quite a few books and a love of travel books, it would seem. I'm going to add you to my interesting libraries too.

Thanks for adding me to your interesting libraries. LT is a great way to keep track of all your books and it will be a great way to stay in touch with like-minded people whilst your on your travels around Europe. I also love to swap books on RISI, it's a great way to build up your collection fairly cheaply. I have added you to my friends list, hope thats OK.
