Rainie

I have read Where Rainbows End last year and I loved it. But I have always been a fan of books that are written in the form of letters or diaries. PS I love you is on my TBR pile, but I haven't gotten around to it just yet.

I haven't counted them recently, but I think I own about 600 books. And I still have to read about 150 of those and probably buy about five new ones every month.

The Witching Hour is one of my favourites. Beatiful book. About the Classics, I came across the 1001 books to read before you die lists and am ashamed to say that I have a lot of catching up to do. I believe I have read 10 books of that list and only one was a Classic, Wuthering Heights, which I have read in Highschool ages ago. It is my belief that they don't pay much attention to reading in the Dutch Edicational System, so I really missed out. I am thinking of taking up the 1001 book challenge, but on the other hand I am not quite sure where to start. So if anybody has any suggestions, feel free ... My son is one years old, so he is still a bit young for the real stuff. (Maybe I wrongly used the word Toddler and should have written Mite, I looked it up in a dictionary). But I am starting to read him the classic Fairy Tales and I was given some books by Richard Scary when he was born. How old is your daughter? Book swapping will be difficult, given the language problem, but we could always swap ideas.

Thank you all for the warm welcome. My favourite authors are Stephen King (his early work), Peter Straub, Anne Rice, Val McDermid, John Connolly, Preston & Child and many others. I'm currently starting to discover the work of James Herbert, which I haven't read so far, but I bought a few of his books and will start with them shortly.

Hello, my name is Raine. I just came across this forum and I just had to join as I just love to read . I am never without a book. I mostly read thrillers and horror books, but I am also interested at other genres. And as I am seriously lacking in the Classics department I am trying to read some more Classics as well, although lately I am also very interested in Fantasy books. And with a todler in the house, I'm getting into the childrens books as well. I'm really looking forward to reading him all the classic and new childrens tales. Oh, so many books and so little time. Well I look forward to discussing books with all of you and of course to learn about lots more books that I haven't heard of before.
