I have a passion for books and reading and love to read most popular modern fiction/ classics, crime/mysteries and the occasional thriller.

I have set myself a personal challenge to wild release at least one book a day - completed!

Please check out my availables/TBRs as I am happy to swap/trade with anybody (although I would prefer UK/Europe only, due to postage costs) so just PM me and I will be in touch. I also love sending RABCKs so..... please keep your wishlists up-to-date, it might be your lucky day!!

I love gardening as well!!!

and yoga/new age stuff, too!!!
