About meA bookworm who writes as a hobby, I accumulate books without thinking too hard about it. I mostly read fantasy, but since I picked up writing as a serious hobby, I've been accumulating a lot of non-fiction, under the guise of "research". Having just moved from Canberra back to Perth, I'm now rediscovering the joys of sitting on the back verandah with a book in a sunbeam.

About my libraryThis is a library which grew from about a half a carload of books brought from Perth (a massive culling of my collection), through about seven years of unhindered acquisition in Canberra. Currently, it occupies seven bookshelves and a lot of floorspace in the loungeroom, as well as a lot of the rest of the vacant horizontal space around the house. I accumulate books from all kinds of sources - "3 for $20" trays at newsagents and bookstores, second-hand bookstores, book stalls at the university. However, my primary source of reading material and bookage is the Co-Op Bookstore at the University of Canberra. I'll go in there whenever I have a chance, have a browse, and usually come out having spent far too much money. Again. Ah well, at least I'm easy to buy for - can't go wrong with book vouchers!
