I am a trainee primary school teacher. I have been a lover of books all my life. My favourite author of all time is Thomas Hardy, but I also love Collins, Austen, Brontes and Dickens. I also like 17th and 18thc Gothic fiction. I do read contemporary novels too. I like anything that's a bit different and intriguing. I don't like to follow the crowd in anything. I like bright colours and dislike falseness. I am a very good friend and am lucky in that I have wonderful friends. I always like to make more of them.
