OK, Im sort of new. Ive been on the boards before (I recognise some of you!), but my mum developed Alzheimers and my life went to pot and I didnt have any time for anything 😞
Im back again now, but the board has completly changed and Im still getting to grips with it all.
So, Hi everyone and I hope to see you around.

Dear Bookworm, so sorry to hear about your Mum, it truly is the mose H*llish illness.
Do i deduce from your ID that you're a reader (see I'm not completely dumb), lol. What do you like to read?
I read all the time, mainly crime fiction, just discovered a new author and having a grand old time reading through his other books. Like history too, The American Civil War and The Spanish Civil War amongst other things.

Yup, I love reading
Ive got a very eclectic library
Ian Rankin, Harry Potter, romantic poets, Jane Austin, Terry Pratchet, science fiction, Dickens, War and Peace, Satre, Oscar Wilde, La Carre..... etc
Im currently working my way through Henning Mankells Wallander series.
Ive not read much history, perhaps i should try it

Hi bookworm, hope you are enjoying the Wallander series, I loved them. I can't do Sartre and have tried, love all of Dickens (my fav is David Copperfield (I am born, brill), closely followed by Bleak House), love Tolstoy, have never finished War and Peace, just discovered new Scandinavian author Camilla Lackberg - didn't like The Girl with Dragon Tattoo series or Jo Nesbo. If I had to choose my fav book ever would be Rebecca by Du Maurier or Flaubert's Madame Bovary, or or or - that's the thing about reading isn't it?
Who are your faves?
