edit data

I'm a reader, librarian, teacher, bellydancer, traveller and champagne-addict. ...more

My top 9 books out of the 113 I read in 2025. Unsurprisingly, I read a lot of fantasy (and a few gothic stories crept in), a bit more science fiction and my usual smattering of mysteries, biographies and YA books. I hope everyone's 2026 is what they wish for (and includes lots of reading!)

Lovely cosy story here - no high stakes and a sweet slow-burn romance. I enjoyed the contrast between the two characters, but found their initial pettiness a bit farfetched for characters that were supposed to be around 30. I would have liked a bit m ...more
