Sobre mimThis is a picture of me at Linnaeus' Garden in Uppsala, Sweden on the occasion of our first wedding anniversary.

We have now just had our third anniversary and so I have finally joined our books together on LibraryThing.

I have recently joined The Leeds Library, which is the oldest subscription library in the British Isles and an absolute gem! I shall put the items that I borrow from this collection on the new 'read but not owned section' of the collections. Although the temptation to buy anything that I have really enjoyed will be great and I generally subscribe to Oscar Wilde's views on the subject of temptation!

In 2009 I joined the York Bibliographical Society and have volunteered to add their information to LibraryThing. If you are based in Yorkshire, or simply in the area at the time please do come along to a talk. The meetings are friendly, informative and as it is up stairs in a pub you can have a drink while you listen!

I am a bookworm. I have been an academic but I dug a tunnel under the fence, dodged the search lights and made my escape to freedom. Now together with my husband we have a studio within the walls of York where we design, make and sell (mostly to direct to galleries, etc)'seriously small craft'- including wonderful bookmarks.

You can read about the daily events at Sumptuosity Towers, sewing, drinking tea, listening to Radio Four and reading/book buying in my blog:

Sobre a minha bibliotecaThe books in our 'Brompton-Charlesworth library' reflect the many different aspects and interests in our lives. Some are from my childhood, many are the result of my studying for a B.A., M.A. and finally a Ph.D. but most are simply because I love reading and am passionate about books.

Key areas of interest include Charles Darwin (and his circle), Richard Burton, eighteenth and nineteenth century travel (particularly women travelers), Orientalism and the Arabian Nights. My latest addition to this list is Samuel Johnson & James Boswell. I also love Natural History and books about books/reading/libraries.

John reads more fiction, has read all the James Bond novels and is now working his way through the Patrick O'Brian novels. We both enjoy Popular Science.
