About meTo tie in more with my other online persona's I've changed my user name from the original djay666. As Wolfy was already taken, I've added the AHS tag to my new name. I'm a 54 year old confirmed bachelor (wouldn't be fair to inflict me on anyone permanently) born and bred in Manchester, England where I've lived all my life.

Prior to participating in this wonderful place I had mainly stuck my head into the Fantasy genre with a bit of Sci-Fi thrown in for a change. I am looking to expand my reading horizons and am participating in the Category and Reading Globally challenges with this in mind.

About my libraryEverything listed in My Library is physically owned by me. I've never been great at reviewing or rating things so don't expect too much from me on that score.

Guide to my ratings

* - Didn't like the story or the style of writing
** - Didn't really like it but has some redeeming qualities
*** - A decent to ok read
**** - Very good
***** - Excellent
Read but unrated probably means I don't remember enough about the book since I read it last.
