About me I'm a 24 year old medieval history graduate currently working as an Archives and Research Assistant at The Borthwick Institute, the ecclesiastical records depository for the Archdiocese of York. I live in York with my partner, two spoiled, fat guinea pigs and not enough shelving. (Definitely not enough shelving.)

About my library My library is desperately eclectic, although it includes a good dose of speculative fiction and fantasy, and is most definitely a work in progress.

Hi again - posted a comment on your blog regarding Eagleton and Dickens. First time poster but long time lurker on Eve's Alexandria: I love digging through all the old posts. Now I can find about a hundred more books I "need" by browsing your library :) As far as the "controversy" of unpaid bloggers doing what paid critics "should" be doing (sorry no more quotation marks, I promise), I find that all of the posts on Eve's are much better than those of say, The New York Times Book Review, Slate or Salon.com and at least on par with the Guardian. The New York Review of Books is perhaps my favorite periodical about books, but it is nice to get both analysis and a personal response. Happy reading to you and all the Eve's posters!

I have not posted many books yet, but we share unusual ones. Care to talk?

Hello Victoria, we share 83 books, and a quick glance at your collection shows a lot more that I've considered but haven't got round to reading. Weird coincidence - my daughter graduated from York this summer, her dissertation was on medieval clergy! she's now working at Lambeth Palace. What are you aiming to do after your MA?

Victoria I love Diana Gabaldon. It all began with a beat up paperback copy of Outlander someone left in the free book box outside the library. I haven't read Breath of Snow and Ashes yet though. I can't do it knowing it is the last in the series!

Hi Victoria--I think we actually have more books in common--but I have been too lazy to drag them upstairs to my computer to add them....I love your "fluff" tag! :)

Welcome to LibraryThing Victoria! I'm looking forward to perusing your shelves at leisure. And congratulations on finishing the thesis!
