Well it’s that time of year again when we get to review things. First up for me is always what books I’ve read. I didn’t get through as many in 2012 as I have in pervious years, but then I knew that wasn’t going to happen. Goodreads - which is a fun place - tells me that I managed 45. Here they are, grouped how much I enjoyed them rather than

I haven't read The Great Gatsby or The Jungle, Dickens, as I said, is not my friend, but I've liked Jane Austen and Louisa May Alcott well enough, and CS Lewis was a childhood staple. Over the last few years I've tried to read more...awardy? type books, so The Shipping News, The Color Purple, One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, and I've found that they're more my kind of 'classics' :)

Our librarian was an ex-punk rocker, or at least ex as far as fashion went lol, great sense of humour, really encouraging, could be stict, but fantastic lady. We had creepy like that teachers though *sigh*. I've always wanted to play with a typewriter! But I know that I'd get really frustrated without a backspace - I go too fast and editing is my friend *grins*. I was on the yearbook group in sixth form college, but it wasn't anything like the uni yearbooks we got or the kind of thing I think you do in the US. Mostly it was a group of us that were friends hanging out eating m&ms and chasing people for their photographs. Fun times.

I have nothing except BOOKS <3
