Favourite Book(s):The Horse Whisperer, Northern Lights to name a couple

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!

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!

Hope you'll have fun here with us. :)
