skysky69 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Well, just thought I would pop along and say hi having just joined the forum. I am 29 (nearly 30:smile2:) and work some funny hours at the moment while our little girl is under school age, I go out as my other half comes in etc. When I get back from work most nights, I am bright as a button and find it difficult to switch off from work and go to sleep - so I read . I have in the past, only read a certain genre of books, crime, horror, blood guts and misery. Favourte authors include: Dean Koontz, Stephen King, James Herbert, Shaun Hutson etc. I have recently made a conscious effort to broaden my reading materials. I have just finished reading back to back the complete Harry Potter so feeling at the moment, a bit emotionally drained and despondent that it is all over . Looking forward to discussing books with people and getting some good recommendations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michelle Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Ahh, you sound like me.. I used to read only horror, then some crime too. Since running this place, I have indeed discovered loads of great new books! I hope you enjoy it here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen1 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Hello and welcome to the board. I have just finished reading back to back the complete Harry Potter so feeling at the moment, a bit emotionally drained and despondent that it is all over. I'm in the process of doing a complete reread. Just finished book 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kell Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 to the forum, Sky! I think you'll find quite a few horror and crime fans on here (myself included!), and I also suspect that by this time next year you'll be reading from many different genres and discovering exciting new authors!
