Me and the boyfriend went to see Oblivion last night.
It was enjoyable, but I thought it "had been done before".

I have read 27 of them, but most of them are on my TBR pile! If I ever get around to reading them is a different question....

Oh this is trickier than I thought....
But it has to be the Tolkien's world. I would love to live in the Shire or perhaps Rohan or Gondor (after all the fighting is over).
Harry Potter is a close second though!

I read some books on Tudor history not too long ago, and in my hunt to find out more I used good old google and came across this very good blog.

It should give you all the information you need on the subject!

I have my books in bookcases, on shelves, piled high in the bedroom and a corner of the sitting room, cooking ones are obviously in the kitchen, and sadly some did not make it into the house and are hanging out in the loft at the moment,
Hopefully I can eventually get a 3 bedroom house with my partner so that we can have one room dedicated to just the books, We are both eager readers (and hoarders of books) and they do deserve a room all to the selves!

The Past
When did you start to love reading?I have been reading for as long as I can remember, and when I didnt know how to read my mum always read to me.
What books did you love as a child (either read to or to read yourself)?As a really young kid the book I loved the most was "The Little Mermaid" (Disney version)
As I grew a little bit older I read a lot of Nancy Drew, Fab five and eventually drifted into a period of only fantasy books.
Childhood memories of reading (if you have them)?I'm not sure what I was reading, but it was a book series (maybe three books?) and they were so good I could not stop reading. It was past my bedtime however, so I had to read by the light of a flashlight under my duvet, and I still got caught

Hello all!
I am new to this forum and would just like to say hi!
Hi!
Maybe I should say a little something about myself?
Well I am an almost (not quite there yet!) 30 year old woman from Norwich, Norfolk where I live with my partner.
I love, love, love to read and I wish I had time to do more of it!
When I read, its usually contemporary fiction, fantasy or romance. I am not much for the thrillers, the murder/mysteries or the
biographies.
If I'm not reading or working I enjoy cooking, swimming and writing short stories of my own.
Well, I think that's it for me for now!
I'll see you around the forums!!
