Donna Posted November 20, 2010 Posted November 20, 2010 Hello everyone, I'm Donna. I'm 29, a librarian and I live in Birmingham, UK. I pretty much read anything and everything, although my favourite genre are sci-fi, thrillers, urban fantasy and historical novels. I'll looking forward to getting to know everyone and sharing my books addiction Quote
Pixie Posted November 20, 2010 Posted November 20, 2010 Hello and welcome, Donna. Hmmm, you mentioned "urban fantasy" specifically. I wonder if I could convince you to read Little, Big by John Crowley. *big evil grin* Or maybe you have already read it? *looks hopeful* By the way, have a cookie. Quote
chrysalis_stage Posted November 20, 2010 Posted November 20, 2010 Hi Donna Welcome to the forum! Happy reading Quote
Peacefield Posted November 20, 2010 Posted November 20, 2010 Hey there and welcome to BCF, Donna! I'm a big fan of historical fiction myself - do you have any favorites? Quote
Donna Posted November 20, 2010 Author Posted November 20, 2010 Thank you all for the kind welcomes It's so nice to find a place where I can talk books with people. peacefield - hmm, there are so many. I tend to be enjoyed a lot of Tudor historicals at the moment, so Alison Weir, Phillipa Gregory, Jean Plaidy, C.J. Sansom. But I also like Simon Scarrow and Manfredi Hello and welcome, Donna. Hmmm, you mentioned "urban fantasy" specifically. I wonder if I could convince you to read Little, Big by John Crowley. *big evil grin* Or maybe you have already read it? *looks hopeful* By the way, have a cookie. LOL You can convince me to read it. Unfortunately, I haven't read it yet. And thank you for the cookies:) Quote
Pixie Posted November 20, 2010 Posted November 20, 2010 LOL You can convince me to read it. Unfortunately, I haven't read it yet. And thank you for the cookies:) Hmmm, I may write a review of Little, Big soon, even though it's been awhile since I read it. It was that good, but a difficult one to write a review about. If you like urban fantasy and also historical fiction, it should appeal to you. You're welcome for the cookies. Quote

Raven Posted November 22, 2010 Posted November 22, 2010 No dentistry books for me but I'm surrounded by books about logistics, marketing, industrie management and so on.
