Hi my name is Siobhan and I live on the Yourke Pen in South Australia. I am a mother of 2 (my youngest only born 10 weeks ago) and I also have a step-daughter.
Altho I dont have as much time as I have in the past I am an avid reader.
My first love belongs to Jane Austin (I have told my husband that I would have a love affair with her if she was still alive! The only woman I have considered this for) and hae read/watched all her novels to many to count.
I love historical novel set in the Victorian or earlier times. I also have been enjoying more modern novels recently set in the 1940s/1960's.
I am a very fussy reader and if a book does not capture my mind within the first chapter then I will disregared it. The only book wich I forced myself to read outside scholl was the first Harry Potter book and I was so glad i pushed myself throught that book so Icould read ther rest because now I am a huge fan of the series.
But on the other hand if I have read past chapeter 3 then I HAVE to finish the book no matter how bad it is.
I am one of the few people alive who havent read the Twilight series and have no desire to read or watch them. I think it is my allegence to J.K Rowling that has stoped me.
I have just finished this morning a book called 'American Wife' by Curtis Sittenfeld, which I stumbled apon at a lawn sale. It is and intresting look into American modern history through the eyes of politics.
I am starting to dwell into American history and had read a month ago 'North and South' after seeing the mini-series. i am giving myself a breakbefore I get into the second book.
I cant wait to talk books with you all, but i do appologise in advance about my spelling, it is shocking on forums because I get so involved and passionate the I forget about correcting myself and also I think I type too fast for my keyboard and it makes it up half the time, LOL.
Cheers, thanks for having me!
