About me"She is too fond of books..." um, er, I forget how the rest of it went.

Currently I am reading:
Unlundun by China Mieville
The sweetness at the bottom of the pie by Alan Bradley

About my libraryRepresents the books that I share my home with - the books I have owned for many years; the favourites I have read many times and those potential favourites I am yet to read; the gifts (thanks!); and the books that find temporary lodging on my shelves.

Very simply, this library represents my love of books and reading, and the fact that the vast majority of my home is filled with books and open bookshelves. You know what they say: A house with a room without windows is like a body without books. Hang on. A room without windows is like a book without a soul. Whatever. You know where I'm coming from.
