Hi

My name is Pauline and I'm from Derbyshire in the UK. I love to read and I love to discuss the books that I've read. We tried a book club on a forum that I used to run but folks couldnt commit the time to keep up with it so I thought I would look for a purpose made forum.

Looking forward to hearing and sharing thoughts and getting some inspiration for what to read next.

welcome. i hope you like it here and become involved.

Welcome Pauline!

Thanks for the welcome!

hey pauline, how are you? im quite new on here too but i love it! what kind of things do you like to read?

Hey - thanks for the welcome.

I like to read all sorts, although I'm not particularly bothered about romantic novels including some of the classics!! Favourite authors include Barbara Kingsolver, Nick Hornby, Stephen King, Thomas Hardy, Tolstoy.

In my younger days I read a lot of Catherine Cookson & Agatha Christie, but did them to death really, and I used to read alot of Terry Brooks type fantasy but not so bothered about that now either.

How about yourself?

wow thats really cool, i actually live in the town that catherine cookson was born in theres a wee bit of trivia for you...

i also love stephen king and its been far too long since my last fix!

I live in Derbyshire now but was born and lived in Newcastle until I was 24 - I still have close family up there and we try to get back as often as we can!

I stated SK's Misery a couple of weeks ago, but I'm not getting on too well with it. I do love The Stand, Pet Semetery, The Green Mile, and The Shining though.

Welcome Pauline

ooh i love misery, its probably the one book i re-read more than any other although its my guilty little secret have you read different seasons?

have you been to the amnesty international bookshop on westgate road? its my fav bookshop in the whole of newcastle and its pretty cheap too and they dont mind you browsing for ages lol
