Welcome to my Bookshelf......
Hi - thanks for visiting my page. I'm Karen, and I'm a busy working mum to 4 kids (10y, 8y, 4y and 16 weeks)
I'm currently trying to make my way though Mt Teebeearr, although I have a pile of Mt Currentlyreading.
When I'm not reading, I'm catching up on Mt Laundry and watching CSI and Law & Order. My main reading material is mainly books relating to my job - I know, boring, boring, boring.
Please Note:
I check my messages daily and I do reply to all. If you have sent a PM and not got a reply, please try again. If you still don't get a response, my email address to contact me is: karen.thorn @ gmail.com, but please try PMing me first.
After being nagged for ages, my older children now have their own bookshelves, trwc, liverpoolfan, littleangellica.
