Howdy from a bookworm and author

Unread post

Back story is always boring isn’t it? So I'll skip it.

If I was stuck on a desert island I’d bring my kindle, best friend and a bottle of sunscreen.

Before discovering the joys of e-books, I was a regular at my local library.
They had a lot of rules. You can only borrow ten books at once and they got touchy about late fines. Breaking up was the only way forward.

I’ve kept a journal since I was eleven. If I run out of paper when I’m out, I use my phone instead. My boyfriend complains I’m always scribbling or drawing pictures on any paper I can find. He’s wrong, I use napkins and kitchen towel too.

When I’m not writing, I enjoy wandering around the strip of shops in my small town and gardening.

I reading love Jeffery Archer’s short stories and biographies.

Hello there Hannah and welcome to Book Talk. :welcome: I am also an comulsive reader, and have been since I was about 5 years old (I am currently in my 70s). I enjoy all kinds of fiction (with the exception of romance), like history, biography and travel books. My current complaint is that our local library is not big enough :wink: (I live in a small town). I also like to write. I am a retired lawyer, and made my living by the written (and spoken) word for many years. Be an active member here and you will make many friends. :)

Thanks for the welcome!

I studied law briefly in high school. I always found it interesting. Being a lawyer must have been a stimulating career.

Great to find another compulsive reader :clap:

Thanks!

Stopping child abuse and making a difference is something I'm passionate about. So glad my website is resonating with people. :)

Great to be here.
