About My Library

Ain't books grand?

I'll read pretty much anything, but not romances or horror. (Although there are always exceptions.)

I'm using LibraryThing as a way of keeping notes on books I've read. I may not have them in my possession any more (library books, or books I've released through bookcrossing), but they should be tagged as such.

About Me

Mum of two, have self-diagnosed myself as a "compulsive reader" this morning after seeing a lot of myself in Sara Nelson, author of So Many Books, So Little Time, lover of movies and cooking (and eating!) when I'm not reading or chasing after kids.
