Simon39 Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 Hello everyone I've just signed up and thought a intro would be good. I'm male,nearly 40 and from and living in the north of the UK. I describe my self as somewhat as a book 'lady of the night',I don't discriminate when it comes to books. Thrillers,sci-fi,fantasy,biographies,music,feel good,medical,young adult.I could go on all night,basically I'm game for anything (with in reason) Anyhow I'm looking forward to connecting and chatting with you all.

Simon39 Posted March 12, 2016 Author Posted March 12, 2016 Ha,lady of the night.I typed a "w" word there and the filter changed it to lady of the night.Made me chuckle,I'm definitely a male! Quote
More reading time required Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 Lol, I think I can guess what you typed there! Welcome Quote
Hayley Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 I thought that was an unusual term to use when I read it! but anyway I read a lot of different genres too, though mostly fiction. Do you have any favourite books or authors? Quote

In answer to the medical books. Books by doctors get my attention especially gp's or junior doctors. I'm not in the medical profession but medicine in general interests me(I have a few health problems myself and like to know as much as possible) Also read one medical book called the world's worst medical mistakes.unbelievable stuff. I'm currently reading the girl on the train by Paula Hawkins. Anyway fone flat,book to read,be back soon! Quote
Emmabbooks Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 Hi Simon, - auto correction can be very funny! When you say medical, do you mean thrillers? If so have you read Fatal Complications by John Benedict ? Brilliant. Look forward to seeing you around Quote
Simon39 Posted March 13, 2016 Author Posted March 13, 2016 Hello. Medical as is medicine and the human body,but I like a good thriller.never thought to put the two together, thanks I'll keep a lookout for it Quote
