Passionate about books, libraries, Moomins, cupcakes and Richard Armitage.
Avid movie watcher and music listener, eclectic taste ranging from the mainstream to the unknown.
Favorite authors are many but include Alan Garner, Kate Forsyth, Juliet Marillier, Freda Warrington, J R Ward, Terry Pratchett, Phil Rickman, Sarah Pinborough and Susanna Kearsley.
Favorite genres are Fantasy, S/F, Horror, Mystery/Crime/Thrillers and YA. I occasionally delve in to historical fiction and non-fiction subjects such as mythology, legends and folklore, ancient & mediaeval history. My main interest is in fairy tales, both academic and for every day reading.

ReplyDeleteHi! Just a quick belated thank you for hosting one of the stops on the blog tour for Anything For Her - really appreciate it. Would you have any objection if, sometime in the next month or so, I reproduce the same piece I did for you on my website? I didn't want to go ahead and do it without first checking it's OK because it was done for you. If you'd rather I didn't, please do say and I'll quite understand.Thanks again. Graham (GJ)
