Hi all! I'm Laurel and I'm from Durham. I've been a confirmed book-addict all my life, and like all sorts of different genres. When I'm not reading I love to bake and make my own jams and preserves which I'm hoping to try and start selling soon!
Thanks for the invite Lee, it's cool to see a couple of familiar faces here :)
