Now, what to say about myself? I love reading (obviously!), dancing, visiting the theatre - all the usual stuff.

I read all sorts of things, but tend towards crime & science fiction more often than not.

The books I've really enjoyed, I tend to keep (although can be persuaded to loan them out to people I know) - so they're not all registered here.

Unsurprisingly, the "to be read" pile is teetering on the brink of a bookalanche, yet again I need to do some serious reading this year!

I have a Little Free Library in Roslin, Midlothian and also run an OBCZ in the nearby village of Auchendinny at The Glencorse Centre (screen name, unsurprisingly, is GlencorseCentre).

There are a lot of Little Free Libraries in and around Edinburgh. Here's a list of those that I have visited:

Auchendinny Phone Box, bottom of The Brae
