Sounds fantastic, Asha ;) I also tend to employ my time writing. Other than that, my hobbies include horse riding, playing with (Harassing. What a good word) my pet cockatiel, and spending hours on the internet, drinking hot chocolate and obsessing over Tolkien :)What do you like to write?

Difficult that is, since I stick to reading in whatever little time I get. But writing, running, teaching and harassing my two-year old retriever are timely activities I engage in. :) How about you, Jo?

I hope to see you often.
As for a book to recommend to you, I recently added finished The Graveyard Book and The Color Purple to my list of favorites. I loved them both. Fairly quick reads. You might want to read them. :)
Asha please recommend your best book that I can read. Right now I am reading Doctor Zhivago will take some time finish.
I read a part of your Blog Asha and you write very well. Will read rest of it soon. Please keep writing and I will read. The more you write better you get.
