About meI am a women in my late thirties from a small rural town in Western Australia. I am a mother to 2 children and own my own business. I also work part-time at one of Western Australia's universities. I spent 4 years living and working in Europe which has reignited my desire for travel and adventure (which at the moment is done through reading). My interests are wide and include reading, travelling, history, social justice issues, gardening, cooking and quilting.
About my libraryI have a broad range of tastes and styles when it comes to reading. My (and hubby's) bookshelves have just about every genre imaginable: classics, philosophy, biography, memoirs, travel/adventure and historical fiction and non-fiction not to mention a few cookbooks and lots of books on sustainable living, gardening and patchwork. I am still in process of going through my library and putting them all on here.

You are most kind to add me to your list of interesting Libraries. I am not worthy but appreciate your interest.
Long live Aussies, is all I can say. You have great writers, great readers and several members of my extended family in your country. Hope to hear some more from you in the future.
Good reading accompany you throughout 2008 and beyond. You own Library looks good!
(p.s. Try Peter Ackroyd's London - brilliant and fascinating!)
