We're friendly and we don't bite ;)



As a child I was a voracious reader but since becoming an adult and getting a "real" job I find I have much less time to read these days.

I will literally read anything including the dictionary but I am especially fond of science fiction. I also like mystery, fantasy and non fiction.


Recently I was given a large number of Romance novels to wild release. Please, Please don't think that this reflects my taste in books!




I am not participating in any challenge this year. To see the challenges I took part in in previous years check the links below.

This year I have read:
The Devil's Arithmetic by Jane Yolen

The Bamberg Affair in the All by William S Beigh

and am currently reading






To see the books I read in 2007 go to: 2007 list

To see the books I read in 2006 go to: 2006 list

To see the books I read in 2005 go to: 2005 list

To see the books I read in 2004 go to: 2004 list


Mostly I borrow books from the library as I find my budget doesn't strech to new books all year.

I'm looking forward to releasing books into the wild and hopefully following their adventures online.
