Recent Book Activity

Hei! Hello!

I've had a library card since I was 4 although I learned to read when I was 7 and half years old. But I've never stopped once I learnt! When I was younger I had my nose deep in a book all the time: I could read several books a day, 24/7. Lately I haven't read so much but I do still enjoy it.

We've got about 1,500 books at home... and no, I'm not going to release even half of them. They are mostly related to history since both my hubby and I are historians by education.

But I read also novels. My favourites are fantasy, science fiction, mystery, thrillers, historical stories, sagas, children's stories, comics, biographs... well, I read almost anything if it's well-written. :) Just to give you some names: J.R.R. Tolkien, A.A. Milne, Neil Gaiman, Mika Waltari, John Irving, Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett, Calvin&Hobbes... Lately I've been interested in vampire stories and manga. I'm not very interested in romance or war novels.

Toivelistallani on useimmat kirjat englanniksi, mutta suomennoksetkin kyllä kelpaavat. :)

I'm also a postcrosser, and it will be interesting to see whether bookcrossing is as addicting hobby as postcrossing has turned out for me. :)
