message 952: by Sophie (new)

Sophie | 249 comments Morning, another newbie here :)
My name's Sophie and I'm 28 from London. I work for a plastic surgeon and am mummy to my 3 year old daughter, Niamh (pronounced Neev). I am trying to instil a passion for reading in her like my dad did to me and it seems to be working!

Birthday: 12th April
Favourite Book(s):The Horse Whisperer, Northern Lights to name a couple
Favourite Book Genre: I like a range but I do love a good thriller or horror story (particularly ghosts) but then like to balance it with more light-hearted reads like a romance so I that I can actually get some sleep!
Favourite Author: Too many to name just one but Philip Pullman, Tove Jansson, Stephen King and Kathy Reichs
Favourite Colour: Violet
Favourite Food: Anything seafood (or pizza if I'm hungover!)
Any Pets: Yes, 2 cats called Merlin (grey and white) & Tigger (ginger tabby & white). I get the impression they "tolerate" me... Also used to have a Dalmatian until recently whom we sadly had to have put to sleep. Currently biding my time until I can get another dog!
If I could live anywhere in the world it would be: I've always loved the idea of having a horse ranch in Big Sky Country somewhere. Alternatively I'd be incredibly happy living in a beach house in the South of France surrounded by excellent wine!
Finish the line: I know I'm a book addict because... I couldn't imagine my life without having books in it!

Sara | 1294 comments Hi, everybody! My name is Sara, I'm 26 and I live in Italy.
I've been on GR for a bit more than a year now and I'm loving it, but I've only recently found out that I seem to have a severe addiction to reading challenges :)
I consider myself a bookworm and I especially love reading historical fiction and non-fiction books (memoirs, biographies, journals), classics, epic and high fantasy, family saga and in general books about books. I love to write letters and receive snailmail too. Thanks in advance for having me here!

As another JA fanatic, I suggest you check our Jane Austen challenge. Of course, if you like reading challenges at all. It gives you great excuse to reread JA books and watch all those movies and series :)

I'm don't have favorite books, but I'm really like Neverwhere
(Neil Gaiman is one of my favorite authors). I'm like Fantasy, Mystery, Crime, Young Adult... (all genres, but I don't like the fact literature, but sometimes I can read something non-fiction).
