About meI like indie music, reading, hairclips and kittens. I might sound pretty twee, but my taste in literature runs dark.

About my libraryI've recently culled a lot of my pulp crime type novels (Patricia Cornwell etc) and a fair bit of hard-core fantasy (Terry Pratchett), so what you're seeing is the creme de la creme of my books. The stuff that sits on my very attractive Heals bookshelves.

Dear Santar: YOu are truly wonderful. Zelda arrived in time for Christmas. It was completely unknown to me but is exactly the kind of thing that I adore. I have been trying to read it throughout the day but can get no more than frustrating sips as I manage our Christmas catering and look after our guests. Now that the day is in its quiet embers I am too tired to do more than write this delighted squeal of gratitude. And I note that there is something else yet to come. My cup runneth...
How funny that you mention the Buffy graphic novels. A colleague and I did jointly buy the Buffy season 8 comics for a while. I'm also currently working with someone who studies graphic novels and comics (in academia) so am more interested in the genre than I have been in the past.
Thanks so much for the books you selected for the SantaThing swap! They both look great and are so very much things I'd select to read myself. You probably noticed that I've read other books by Geraldine Brooks, but not yet March, so can't wait to get started with it. Thanks again for your thoughtfulness! (Sara) Greenleaf
I'm so glad you liked it! I'm planning to be at the January meet-up (whenever that may be...) and I'll be in London from the 22nd through February 4th, so I'll definitely get in touch before I go. It would be great if you had time to take me out for a book-shopping trip!
Absolutely love your logo, photo! Gives new meaning to being "in" to books!

Buenos noches,

"Lola"
you are adorable, lost in your david copperfield.
