Well, it rather depends on the face!!!!

I take a terrible photo and we've never been a family where photos have been important so I simply didn't have any around. But a couple of weeks ago a friend took one for a committee display and accidentally printed out a copy that was too big for her purposes. She gave it to me and so I scanned it in and popped on here.

BP, I'm sorry I've been such a terrible correspondent. I'm hoping life will calm down for a bit from next Monday onwards and I promise to be in touch.

Ann I see you've gone public with a photo - good to put a face to the name!

I thought I'd say hello here as I'm missing your blog. I hope all goes well with you.

Hi!

Good to know that you're doing well. It's been so quiet from your corner of the blogosphere, I was just a little concerned, but then I saw you had logged a book on LT, so assumed that all was well.

I have been well. Keeping busy with my job, and had a lovely visit from my sister over the holidays, so that was nice.

Good to hear from you and good luck with the MA!

Hello Ann,

Thanks for the welcome, and nice to hear from you. Well, my kitchen is my favourite tea house he he. I'm easily pleased with Sainsbury's Red Label blend you see, although I have been known to indulge in a few herbal delights (though not the fruity ones).

Yes, it does seem we are very close geographically. I have been known to frequent Harborne High street, browsing in the charity shops for books (although I do think Oxfam books overpriced despite being for a good cause).

Fantastic - pick away! I'm also in the process of adding lots of NZ and Australian authors, so hopefully you'll come across several new authors. I've contacted several of the publishers to try to get the covers released, as I hate having a blank cover, so am awaiting responses from them until I really launch into the NZ titles. I'm also going to add the different categories of my presentation as tags over the next few weeks too.

Hi Ann,

Great to meet another teen fiction addict, and I'd be happy to be added as a friend, and would like to do the same to you.
Regards from NZ!

Thanks for all of the recommendations on the Tea in England thread :) I do love your profile picture!

Hi Ann,

I like that running into people in other places on the interwebs at all. Just shows that Disney had it right, it really is a small world after all. ;-) I am back home now and away from the distraction of the beach and 90 deg weather so I will be visiting the salons more today than last week. =)

LOL - It was nice to see you here too! Thanks to the Early Reviewers, I ran across your name. Guess bookish people hang out in the same places. :)

Hi Ann!

I've always assumed you were on here, but I don't know why I've never checked. Silly me. Be careful of LT, though. It can be addicting! I starting out doing exactly what you are doing, using the site as a source to keep track of what I've read, and well... Once I realized the scope of it all and what I could do with it, like I said in my blog post, things went from there, and I'm constantly attached to my library now.

I've skimmed through the books you have listed, and have added several to my never-diminishing wishlist. I've been looking at Colfer's Airman since it was released, and am seriously thinking of breaking my "no new books" rule for it after your review. I've read the first in his Artemis Fowl series and really enjoyed that, and it seems that Airman won't disappoint, either.

Hi,
Just noticed your comment, isn't it great to find other adults who don't think you're mad for still reading children's books! I did a children's lit module for my undergrad degree and it was really interesting to think about it academically and to try some newer children's fic which set me off reading new children's fiction again and now I'm definitely hooked. I think I've also reached the point where I'm old enough not to feel embarrassed walking back into the teenage section of the library!

Hi

Thanks for the comments! I noticed a few books in your library that I haven't got yet... "dusts off her wish list".

Hi there
Of course I don't mind. I will add you to my friends list too ^_^
I love kids books. I am trying to read all the great books I should have read when I was kid (if only there had been some one to tell me what to read)!

Hi Ann,

Thanks for your comment - nice to meet a fellow Midlander!

You and I have the only two recorded copies of "the last of the high kings" on librarything. We may share some interests in other books. I am shanfan if you want to talk to me.
