Hello!


Are there any book fans here?


I love books they are my absolute fav thing. I have a huge collection of books, some are old and some are new. Probably the oldest I’ve got is early Agatha Christie ones, and, some Charles Dickens ones as well. I’ve read them all many times before and I always go back to them, especially my fav ones! My fav books are the Harry Potter series, Twilight, Narnia Chronicles and Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit! I just bought the last Harry Potter book but with the adorable new cover... Makes a really lovely set.


I spend most of my time reading. I get tired pretty quick but I do still like reading each day. I have a Kindle as well but I prefer physical books. I love the smell that some of the older ones have. It’s one of the few smells that don’t trigger my hyper-sensitivity!

What’s your fav book? What are you reading right now?
Have a beautifully sunny and fabulous day!

  • I've never asked about it before, but is there any other autistic who struggles with remembering names?

    I noticed so many autor's names that sound completely alien to me, yet others remember them.

    For some reason I can remember book titles and names of main characters sometimes, few writer's names and nothing past that.

    Yes I have memory issues like that too - even though I've always done quite well academically.  I can understand something well in the short term, then seem to later forget almost everything I learned!

    But also, people usually struggle to remember the names of characters in books - we talked about this in a writing class I once took.
