About meComplete rewrite needed as accidentally deleted everything! Ho Hum! Have been reading forever - it is my sanctuary. Read everything from the back of the Cornflakes box to Dostoyevsky. Love LT but do not get as much time as I would like to browse it's endlessly fascinating contents. I also have a passion for bookbinding, cooking, theoretical gardening (no time for the practical unfortunately) and football (that's the soccer type to those west of our timeline) I'm a Millwall season ticket holder - have been since I was 13 and, for those of you who know about these things, we're not all mad, bad and dangerous to know!
I have a wonderful and thoroughly understanding partner (who doesn't mind the continual additions to the library), two wonderful children and soon to have a first grandchild.
In my spare time I also do 40+ hours a week as a Senior Underwriter.
If you were wondering about the Doris Day sign in, my Mum looks like DD and used to sing Que Sera to me when I was little - so very fond memories.
About my libraryEclectic mix - whatever takes my fancy at the time but have only recently come to the conclusion that life is far too short to complete a book that I am really not enjoying. Would, like every other LTer I'm sure, love a real library, with real library accoutrements - soft specific lighting, crackling log fire (can't be doing with the leather chair though, would have to be an M & S love seat), would like to do the dog bit too but have two old(ish) cats who wouldn't appreciate it, also must have a ladder, a spiral staircase and a gallery (don't want much do I!)

I see that Murder One is a favourite bookshop of yours as it is of mine. Have you see the sad news that it is to close this month as one more victim of the recession? It will be one fewer bookshop to visit on the Charing Cross Road on my way home from work. What a loss.

Thanks for leaving me a comment! I'm having terrible trouble with my internet connection at home and so am doing this at work. It's probably a sackable offence or something so if you never hear from me again then you'll know why!

Just saw you added a few books on the radar, and thought I'd check out your library. I was particularly interested in your 'fab' books, which reminded me that I must get some Georgette Heyer to re-read now I'm older! I was pleased to see you also thought 'Never the bride' by Paul Magrs was fab too - I adored this book and am looking forward to reading the sequel soon. I love crime too, but prefer the hard-boiled american police procedurals to cozy British in general.
Cheers for now

Thanks for adding me. I love Doris Day!
Yes,I've been very busy adding books the last few days. Just a few stragglers to go on the bookshelf now.
Happy reading,

Thanks for your post. As you know so well, there's nothing like a good English mystery and your library looks like a great resource for "pickings."
I just discovered and read my first "Rumpole," by John Mortimer. "Rumpole Misbehaves." What a treat and what delightful reading! I'm looking forward to more Old Bailey doings.

Thanks for contacting me and of course I am delighted that you have added me to your "Interesting Libraries' list. Also for your kind message.The collection has taken many years to put together but I have enjoyed every minute,although the greatest problem has been the housing of them. (as you will see from my comments on the Profile page)
Regarding the Music collection,again as you will read on that same page,I pondered long and hard as to if I should include them or not.Finally I did and most CD's are either Spoken word or Classical music. The rest are a mixture of Shows and just a few jazz/pop ect.
I see that we share 577 books at the moment and that we also share an interest in several of the same authors and genres as well,so I think I better add your Library to my list of 'Interesting Libraries 'too if I may.
Best wishes from Northamptonshire,and I hope to hear from you again soon with some more book and/or musical talk.
