My name is Margaret. I started blogging when I left work in April 2007. Originally I qualified as a librarian but for the last twenty years I’ve worked in different departments in Local Government.
This blog is mainly about the books I’ve been reading and those I’m considering reading. Now and then I also write about places I’ve visited and personal anecdotes or thoughts. I like to read a variety of book genres and I enjoy fiction of most types (I don’t like horror) and non-fiction, mainly history, philosophy, religion, biography, diaries and letters.
Favourite authors include Margaret Atwood, Jane Austen, Ian McEwan, Iris Murdoch, Joyce Carol Oates, Carol Shields and Virginia Woolf.
I welcome your comments and thoughts. Please do check back if you’ve asked a question or want to discuss something further. I try to respond within a few days. Or you can email me at booksplease@btinternet.com
Thanks for a neat blog.
Your blog is really interesting, and I love your photos!
