I'll let you into a secret. I plan to take over the world. But until then, my motto is 'knowlege is power' so am going to read every book in the world to prepare my way to greatness. Or mediocrity. I really don't care as I'm the one who makes the decisions.
So I like to read about the great (or not so great) rulers of our time and how they battled to power and kept it. I adore novels about Rome and the Empire, mostly anything related to the Roman Army or the empire builders. I love anything historical to be honest and we might as well add in fantasy here as they always seem to be about some bloodthirsty heroes and fools trying to hold onto power.
My other love is paranormal and supernatural. Blame Buffy. I think the young adult genre on this so strong and and exciting. I'm on the side of the bad boy trying to be good - Spike, Damon, Adrian. Vampires who just try to be good for goodness sake are boring. Fact.
I like a healthy dose of irony and a lot of double messaging in my books. My favourite books of all time are George Orwell's 1984 and Jasper Fforde's The Eyre Affair.
I'm going to try and write as many reviews as I can - and as honest as I can without being rude. Unless the book is really so bad it should have been left to die in the well of lost plots.
Unfortunately I suffer with a nasty dose of speed reading. I just get worried I'll be hit by a bus or that assasin trying to stop me taking over the world will pop me off before I've read every book in the world.
