I love escaping into the world of a good book! My mum passed on her love of books to me, grew up with shelves full of books all around me. I love the smell of them and the feel of the pages.

I love escaping into the world of a good book! My mum passed on her love of books to me, grew up with shelves full of books all around me. I love the smell of them and the feel of the pages.

I prefer reading paperbacks. I'm just not keen on hardbacks, you can't bend & shape them :) I'll give most books ago though if I start a book and just can't get into it I will happily stop as I don't see the point in wasting time when there are so many good things in the world to be doing. I do love to escape into fantasy/sci-fi or a good mystery/thriller/horror or a true story - Papillon is one of my favourite books. Terry Pratchett is my all time fav author. Whenever I have a reading lull - I pick up one of his books and he sets me back on track.

I live on a organic dairy farm situated in Deepest Darkest Dorset. I work for my folks & brother as the farm secretary. In my spare time I enjoy travelling - my feet get so itchy, going to live music events, having music on in the background, watching movies, photography, animals/nature/gardening/the sun/proper rain & thunderstorms, cloud gazing/starring at the stars/saying goodnight to the moon and of course reading.

I suffer from ME/CFS & Fibromyalgia - its horrible and I would not wish it on anyone! Because of it I don't read as quickly or as much as I used to due to tiredness &/or brain fog. To overcome this I have just started to buy audiobooks to listen too during rest time and can say I feel much better and happier for doing so. I was starting to feel I was missing out on so many good books!
