About my libraryThis is everything that I have read from 2006 to now. I dont list all books on my shelves, just a few, but once they're read they're on. I have found I'm drawn to North American writers of the 20th Century- seems odd to me but looking at my favourites it seems to be the case.

Am into writing that amazes me over a page-turning plot (in fact I have a thing against the 'page-turners' that I liken to candy floss; good going down, but certainly dont fill you up).

I love books that can describe normal people and their lives and make me feel like I really understand them and therefore realise that no-one AND everyone is normal!

And..... I always judge a book by its cover.
