About meIn my work for digital communications agency Lateral.net I am very lucky to get to work with several UK publishers - Faber & Faber, Little, Brown, Hodder and Stoughton and Hachette Livre UK (the UK's largest publishing group). I am very grateful for their largesse in the area of freebies.

Since February 2008, along with my colleague Mathew Riley, I have run and written for the book review blog Bookgeeks.

My profile pic is a mosaic of book covers from my library, created using LibraryThing's cool 'View all covers' page and the software AndreaMosaic. How cool is that?

About my librarySince becoming a serious commuter (3 hours plus on the train per day), the staples of my reading have become scifi, fantasy and historical novels, although I still enjoy other types of fiction and non-fiction. My library includes many, many books that I have yet to read (tagged TBR), and some that I probably never will, but that won't stop me continuing to expand it :)

It also includes many books owned, bought by or for or given to my partner, who is an English teacher - so it is really 'our library'.
