Hello! I'm Jane, I'm 24, and I live in the Home Counties with my husband and our cat (above). I've always loved to read, and am usually reading several books at once - mostly chick-lit escapist pap, but occasionally 'proper' books as well! My favourite book in the whole world ever is 'Jane Eyre' by Charlotte Bronte. I also love fantasy (especially Terry Pratchett's Discworld and anything by Anne McCaffrey) and sci-fi (especially older stuff like John Wyndham and Frederick Pohl - but not Isaac Asimov, he never writes about women!).
