Sobre mim Reading. Lots of it. That's a big part of what makes me, me.

I have two cats and a husband. All of them are micro-managed and fed well.

Charley was actually a British Aviator - we are trying to find his lost monocle. We won't, no matter how much he begs, let him at the brandy. But seriously, he's very dashing, naughty and explorative. We've discovered he's part Bengal (he's an SPCA kitty, like his big adopted sister) so this accounts for the all manner of strange and wonderful things he likes to do. Sitting in toilet bowls, eating fluff, walking like a leopard, refusing to drink out of bowls and only from a running tap...

Leif (the husband) is attached to his computer and I feed him with a spoon and straw so that he doesn't have to step away from the keyboard. Unless he's napping on the couch...with kitties.

Ginny likes to hide. Often in a box with a hole specially cut into it for her, or in her kitty house. Charley the Orange Monster has dragged her out of her shell, though, and she spends a lot of time tearing after him up and down the hall...and hissing and spitting with ears laid back. It's all for show though. The blunt truth is that Ginny is a grizzly, whiny, grumpy cat. I think that's why I love her. She has permanent PMS. We relate well.

Currently, we are looking after a beautiful, shy kitty called Bear (a misnomer) for a friend while she sorts out Life and Things. Bear squeaks and sounds like a parrot. She's been spoiled, and would prefer to eat cheese (good taste) and salmon rather than her biscuits. She has also taken to using the bath-tub as a toilet. Hmmmmmm....

We'll get there.

In regards to this place I belong to Early Reviewers while waiting fruitlessly for Random or such to open up the programme here. ~taps foot~ I've also discovered the joys of the Green Dragon

Oh, and I've decided to pull my weight and actually write some reviews on all these damned books I read...slowly.

Current Picture: Me, wild and woolly at a beach.

September Books A bookless month, alas - cutting down the to-read pile, and money going elsewhere. Heaves great sighs. Let me amend that to 'mostly bookless'.

Sobre a minha biblioteca I only list books that I own. Currently, I'm being ruthless and sorting out books that I'm going to trade. I've resisted this for quite some time. But, my collection is growing, and I have no room, nor time, for books I loathe, or ones that I won't consider reading again, or reading at all. So, I have a To-Sell tag that is slowly growing, and a box by my desk.

This is a Big Step.

I have three shelves: the speculative fiction shelf; a smaller one for lit. fiction; and the other miscellany (and yet more fantasy) is on a third shelf in the office. Fragile things, and children's picture books, are in a box. Our house is very small - crowded with cats and books.

Tags:

I love tags.

If the start of a series has made it into my Top 30 tag (somewhat obviously it refers to my Favourite Books of All Time), it means I've counted the whole series as one book - given that one series tells one story after all.

And if a book (particularly a literary fiction or fantasy one) doesn't seem very detailed in terms of tags, it's likely because I haven't read it yet, or it's one that I read long ago and can't remember very well. Curses!
