CornflowerBlue Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Hullo! I'm Fiona, I'm an avid reader. I'm also an MA student, studying Writing for Children at UCLan. For the course I have to study literature theory and some of the major issues in children's literature, but I also have to write. I'm a bit of a Neil Gaiman fangirl, and will happily settle down with anything by Colm Toibin, Angela Carter, Jeanette Winterson, Pat Barker or Douglas Coupland. I worked as a children's bookseller in my first gap year, and still dream of opening a children's book shop. It also reignited my love of teen and YA fiction, and my PhD is going to be in crossover fiction. When I'm not reading I love to bake, have a little vegetable garden, and I can often be found at our local real ale pub. Hullo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soljerster Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Welcome!! My husband is also a Neil Gaiman fan! He's trying to get me to read the Anasai (sp?) books that he wrote! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CornflowerBlue Posted May 29, 2010 Author Share Posted May 29, 2010 The Anansi books are not half bad. My favourite book is American Gods, I think it's a supreme bit of characterisation and such a wonderful concept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
