Extended Profile
Greetings and Welcome! Thank you for visiting My BookShelf and Profile Page!
Yes, my Profile pic really is a photo of my knees - but not close enough to see the scars! (LOL!)
******************************************************************************************************************
All you need to know about me is that I read (and read and read and read . . . .), probably more than is good for me! I keep threatening to read less and get out more - but I know it isn't going to happen
And that I love BookCrossing and English Country Dancing, although I'm not as active in either field as I used to be! And at the moment all country dancing is on hold, certainly in this area . . . far too much of a contact sport for these social distancing
times in which we live . . .
And all you need to know about my family is that I have one: a husband, two daughters, one son-in-law, one grown-up grandson and two partners.
******************************************************************************************************************
I've decided to stop listing all the many books I read in a year, although I will keeping noting the books I'm currently reading:
Alison Weir - Henry VIII, King and Court
Philippa Pearce - Tom's Midnight Garden
Erica James - The Dandelion Years
