About My Library

I mostly read fiction and a lot of that is genre. I love spec fic, romance and a dash of crime. I'm looking for entertainment in my reading, but I appreciate a nice turn of phrase.

About Me

Most of my working life has been spent in books, The Family Business. My father was in the Book Biz all his life, my mother was a librarian, together they've owned a secondhand bookshop for the past 12 years. One could say that I was Raised for a life with books :) Hence I've been a bookseller, worked for two mainstream publishers and in between I built websites for authors. These days I'm taking a break from working with books so as to do shallow things for large corporates in exchange for enough time (and dosh) to actually enjoy READING books again. :)
