Currently reading:
Robert Harris - Act of Oblivion
Info for NSS etc.: My wishlist is up to date, but if you have a book you really enjoyed and would recommend, that would be lovely too.
I love all chocolate, except with nuts or peanuts.
Other things I like: tea, coffee, pens, notebooks, stationery, Rennie Mackintosh things, your favourite recipe, a postcard from your hometown, teatowels, surprises!
