La mia biblioteca: I pick most of my books up from charity shops so I can afford to be quite adventurous. Prize winners often catch my eye but I don't always enjoy them and if I haven't they won't be listed here. I've always got lots to read (I haven't put any of the books in my to be read piles here!).
I find books faster than I read them and I never get round to re-reading - but I always hang onto my favourites just in case. Please supply recommendations - I may have it waiting in the pile and can bring it to the top!
Informazione su di me: After too many years of not finding or making time I now make much more time for reading.
I enjoy books that take me to a different time or place but always in the real world - no science fiction or fantasy.
Occasionally I like some light relief with fast plotted mysteries and I have a soft spot for the No.1 Ladies Detective Agency books because their gentle wisdom makes me smile and the pace of life in the books helps me to relax.
Luogo: Yorkshire, England
