****I didnt use Chuckleweb to sort the capital letters out....Dooyoo is just being......GRRRRR*** Living in London and spending a lot of time travelling on public transport gives me the pleasure of being able to switch myself off from the world and fulfil one of my favourite past times.... reading. I spend hours of my time reading, on the bus, on the tube, in the bath and in bed. Anywhere I can catch a few minutes to read my latest book you can guarantee I will be doing. Ive always loved reading, from being a very small child and reading 'The Famous Five' series and throughout my school years into adult life; books have always been a part of my ...  Read the complete review

As often happens with my husband and I, we were chatting. (oh yes we still talk!) And in the course of the conversation hubby mentioned the literary challenge he had d one over here on dooyoo and I thought it sounded quite funky....so here is my attenpt at answering these questions. Blame Mitnik -He made me do it or Blame Malu as these are her questions in the first place! Q: What is your favourite genre? Fantasy. Hands down it's got to be fantasy.

I can’t possibly miss the chance to witter on endlessly about books I have known and loved. And some I haven’t enjoyed quite so much. It does appear to have turned into quite a mammoth op, sorry about that! “A house without books is like a room without windows.” – Horace Mann. I’ve always read books. Sometimes not even books – in desperation I’ve even resorted to the back of the cornflakes packet. Just ask me what the ingredients are. ;o) I was lucky growing up – my parents house was always full of books to read, and the school and local library ...  Read the complete review

Although I tend to write more about music these days, books were my first love. I started to read at a very young age, as my mother was a reader, and my father used to watch the TV from behind the Daily Mail most evenings. At age 2 or 3, I once picked up a book trying to imitate them (and held it upside down, I've since been told), and was then taught to read. Wherever I am, I will have a book if there is no other distraction to be had. I rarely leave the house without something to read. If I'm going to be going somewhere on a train or bus, I'll take a book. I've missed train stops, and taken buses all the way to the terminus by getting too ...  Read the complete review
