About Me

So you might ask yourself why you should take advice or thoughts from me?

Well, I'm your quintessential person in their 40s brimming with a variety of life experiences. I'm an adoptive mum to three incredible children, who oscillate between being absolute angels and agents of chaos— often within the span of five minutes.

My love affair with books began at the tender age of six when I stumbled across "The Silver Brumby" in my local library. That moment sparked a passion that has not waned; for nearly four decades, I've been an avid reader. Whether I'm devouring a few lines on a hectic day or losing myself in entire books in one sitting, reading has been a constant companion on my journey through life, across continents and through different chapters of my own story.

Embarking on this blog is more than just a hobby, it's a passion project. It promises to be a sanctuary for my thoughts on the myriad worlds and lives I've explored on its pages. This endeavour is also practical—saving me the trouble of recounting my impressions of a book I've recommended when I've already dived headfirst into another.

When George R. R. Martin proclaimed, "A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads lives only one," it resonated with me deeply. Through this blog, I embrace the challenge of living as many lives as possible, one page at a time. Join me on this literary odyssey and explore the limitless lives and worlds that books have to offer.
