About meI love fiction. My favourite genres are horror, fantasy (especially the funny series), crime and mystery. I also enjoy and plan to read tons of chick lit novels in the future because books by authors like Helen Fielding and Sophie Kinsella taught me to appreciate the genre. (Humor is an essential element of these books, too.:)

I started to read in English mostly to practise the language, and I still think that it's a useful way of havin fun for a bookworm like me. I only wish I had more time for it!

About my libraryI'm afraid, my library is a total mess right now because at the beginning I didn't notice that we can add only a limited number of books. As a result, most of my all time favourites are simply missing and it will stay so.

My library has mostly books I own and plan to read one day. (These are tagged as tbr). I also added some books I own, have already read and plan to reread from time to time. (These are rated.)

I didn't add any volumes I borrowed from libraries or read online. Books like that may appear in my 50 challenge list though. Comments by fellow readers (i.e. any other members) are always welcome there (or here, of course).
