Sobre mim I'm a student in Australia who has worked in a small, independent bookshop for the last 4 years. I love everything about books and reading, and will read just about anything I'm given.

I've lived in both England and Japan for one year each which would explain the high English and Japanese content of my library. I loved living in Japan and learning more about the language and culture, but I would have chopped my own arm off to have access to more books in English! I'll never take bookshops and libraries for granted again!

I will only lend my books to people on the understanding that no page corners will be turned down and that they won't be left lying open face down. Pedantic I know, but my books are sacred!

I am currently reading:

The Amber Spyglass by Philip Pullman.


Slow Journey South by Paula Constant which is an advanced reading copy I picked up from work in an idle moment.


The History Of Tom Jones, A Foundling by Henry Fielding which seems to go on forever. I'm enjoying it, but it's being read in small doses, mainly in between other books.

I have recently read:
Kingdom Come by J G Ballard
If On A Winter's Night A Traveller by Italo Calvino
The Drowning World by J G Ballard
The Mad Ship by Robin Hobb
Ship of Magic by Robin Hobb
Empire of the Sun by J G Ballard
Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert
King Solomon's Mines by H Rider Haggard
Waiting by Ha Jin
Year of Wonders by Geraldine Brooks
The Sailor Who Fell From Grace With The Sea by Yukio Mishima
Amsterdam by Ian McEwan
Cold Comfort Farm by Stella Gibbons
People in Glass Houses: An Insider's Story of a Life In & Out of Hillsong by Tanya Levin
On Chesil Beach by Ian McEwan

Sobre a minha biblioteca I have decided to only put up those books which I currently own. I'm using this as a way for me to keep track of my personal library so just having read it isn't good enough.

I am attempting to read as many as possible of the 1001 Books to Read Before You Die, as well as to read at least 2 books from each year's Booker Prize Shortlist including the winner, which is why I have so many of these books!
