I am a great believer of Karma and discovered this site through an article in the Irish Times, 21.3.07.


I am an avid book reader and have been since I was 7. Books to me have always been magic. When I was 7 I was at home sick from school, my Dad came home at lunchtime with 2 Enid Blyton books then returned to work. When he arrived back later that evening I asked him if he had brought anymore books as to his surprise I had both books finished. I read on average 2 books a week, loads more when on holidays. My favourite books I now keep to re-read and give the remainder away. However, I have so many books my friends can't keep up with them and I am only delighted to find this site as a way of sharing my books as the local charity shops don't want anymore.

Interestingly my Dad only ever read the daily papers from cover to cover, I now do that too and buy 2 papers, he wasn't a "reader" and neither is my Mother. Visiting my Dad's sisters and mother I discovered they all were and it was like manna from Heaven visiting their houses. When stuck into a book I have been known to avoid everything in the house just to stay with my character friends!

Favourite Books
I will read anything really apart from science fiction and fantasy. I love books that grab me as in I totally lose myself in the characters and the story and whereas cannot put the book down equally coming to the end will try and slow down as much as possible as I wont want to finish my relationship with my new best friend. I rely on other peoples recommendations, book reviews both through the media and internet and just cannot pass a book shop regardless of what country I am in. I regularily struggle with limiting the number of books I can buy as the problem always remains "how will I get them home?"

Fears
I must have at least 2 books lined up to read or I will shake!!! I have a wish list going on Amazon and I use their recommendations for me so haven't had a dried up bedside table in years.
