About meI'm in my late 20's and have been a bookworm for as long as I remember. I have a honours degree in Building Science and have just completed my BA in Classics. I love animals and volunteer at the local SPCA shelter with the feline team, which I love. Being a Kiwi who grew up rurally, I'm a big sports fan and while I'm currently only an arm chair traveller that will change. One day.

About my libraryMy library is primarily crime/mystery fiction, historical fiction, fantasy and chic lit with a healthy dose of non-fiction. I buy as many books as possible and I keep them all. I also make good use of the public library, generally when I can't afford pretty new shinys. If I find an author I like I'll often read as much of their work as I can get my hands on.

Notes on my collections:
- My Library Collection lists the books I own.
- The To Read Collection is my Mount TBR and all books are from my Library Collection.
- My Wishlist Collection has the books that I intend to buy at some point.

My rating system is:

* Didn't like it.
** Didn't particularly like it, but has some good features.
*** Average. In many cases a 'fluff' read.
**** Very good, I just have a couple of small quibbles.
***** Excellent. Loved it.

A book with no rating is probably a book I read awhile back and can't remember well enough to rate. A one star rating is the lowest meaningful rating.
