Hi,

I'm 43 and live in Leicestershire, England, with my Husband and Daughter. I love reading, although this has taken a back seat since my Daughter arrived!

I think this site is a brilliant idea and love to participate in bookrays/bookrings all around the globe - viva la literature !!

I'm willing to trade so if there's anything on my 'available' bookshelf you like the look of, just PM me.
