"In books lies the soul of the whole past time."Thomas Carlyle

I will read pretty much any book that I come across, either because I think it sounds interesting, or because someone recommends it. For instance, ever since a University friend lent me her copy of 'Hide & Seek', I've been hooked on James Patterson, particularly the Alex Cross novels. But at almost the other end of the spectrum I really like 19th Century literature too!

If you see anything on my bookshelf that you're interested in, then send me a PM, I'm willing to post anywhere, though depending on the weight/distance involved & how 'rich' I'm feeling, it may be by surface mail only. I may loan out some of my PC books, but it will depend on how I feel/what the book is/what 'value' the book has for me!

Some of my favourite authors are:
James Patterson, Karin Slaughter, David Baldacci, David & Leigh Eddings, Bill Bryson, Jane Austen, Elizabeth Gaskell, John Irving, Maeve Binchy, Thomas Hardy, Lee Child, Stephen Donaldson, LM Montgomery, Kathy Reichs, Jennifer Crusie, Katharine Kerr
