taketimetoshineBased on the books on my shelf, the main conclusion people would draw about me would be, quite correctly, that I am a bibliophile.
I have hundreds upon hundreds of books. My bookshelves, and I now have four of them, are groaning and creaking under the weight of… far too many books that I really need to get around to counting and cataloguing (I’m forever buying books only to get home and discover I already have them). I have a to-read pile that comes up to my knees – which again, I’m constantly adding to thanks to sites such as new favourites readitswapit and bookmooch – and not forgetting my old favourites ebay, amazon and book depository.
When it comes to genres and authors, it would again be very obvious that I'll read pretty much everything. A close look would reveal my love for fantasy, horror, thillers, medical, religion, crime and chicklit as well as some 'literary classics'
We’re talking author’s such as Kelley Armstrong, Sarah Ball, Louise Bagshawe, Poppy Z Brite, Terry Brooks, Dan Brown, Jenny Colgan, Michael Connelly, Michael Cordy, Michael Crichton, Raymond E Feist, Neil Gaiman, Mike Gayle, Tess Gerritsen, Terry Goodkind, John Grisham, Charlaine Harris, Torey Hayden, Belinda James, Marian Keyes, Stephen King, Dean R Koontz, Richard Laymon, C S Lewis, George R R Martin, Anne McCaffrey, Stephanie Meyer, Freya North, Jodi Piccoult, Terry Pratchett, Anne Rice, JK Rowling, Karin Slaughter, R L Stine, JRR Tolkien, Minette Walters… to be perfectly honest with you, it’s an ever-growing endless list!
There's also the remnants from my childhood that I cannot quite bear to part with: Alan Ahlberg, Enid Blyton, Roald Dahl, Franklyn W Dixon, Carolyn Keene, R L Stine, CS Lewis, and the Point Horror, Point Fantasy, Choose Your Own Adventure and Fighting Fantasy books.
Another closer look at the shelves and you would see non-fiction books as well. Biographies, autobiographies, cook books, science, religion, psychology, philosophy, sociology...
I'm also always open to suggestions and recommendations of books and authors so please feel free to tell me what you love to read and who knows, I'll probably love it too!
