Sobre mimI am a twenty-two year-old Derbyshire lass, a Gemini through and through! My mum ('goosegirl') and I have just opened our dream second-hand bookshop, 'Book End', which so far seems to have been well received - we're already collecting funny stories and regular customers... On top of the whole 'opening a bookshop' thing, I have other random 'things to do before I die', including seeing the Northern Lights, going to Kyoto for the cherry blossom season, visiting Shakespeare & Company in Paris, and flying a kestrel. In the meantime, I'm still battling agoraphobia and various other interlinking problems that are making life less than peachy, but hey, c'est la vie...

The photo is my lovely cat Marmalade, who had to be put down very recently. The 'dramatic lighting' makes her look even more regal, and the royal bottom is firmly perched upon her favourite newspaper-on-table seat... :-)

Sobre a minha bibliotecaI've been obsessively cataloguing every detail of every book in my possession for years! My personal library is eclectic, and it inspires me every time I look at it - I want to expand and refine it over the years until I have something to truly be proud of and to pass down the generations. My current goal is to try and make the number of books I buy tally with the number of books I read - I'm a compulsive book buyer so I'm waaaaaay behind!
