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 enjoyed the Harry Potter books when I first read them, but unfortunately the author has ruined them for me.  I can't look at her name any more without getting angry.  She's using her skills as a writer to promote fear and prejudice that stops people from getting the support and protection that they need.  She even used autism in her argument in an ableist way.  And the problem is, that it's working and that fear and prejudice is now affecting the laws and much needed services.

    I don't read as much these days as I spend more time writing, but I've just started the series "a wrinkle in time." I read the first book as a kid, and I didn't realise there were more.  And there's definite neuro-divergent themes in them, even though it was written well before it was generally known what that meant.

    I love her books but not a fan of her as a 'person' as she is let's be honest very unpleasant. 

    That's cool that you write. What do you like to write about? I like to write short stories but I've trouble finishing them.

    I've written a whole heap of fanfiction. Half of it is *ahem* erotica. But I'm aiming to keep the novel I'm just starting safe for work. I always had trouble finishing stories when I was younger. Wtiting about characters from TV shows that I was obsessed with helped maintain my focus and hopefully was good practice for creating my original work.

    Erotica... Wow, that's got my attention! I remember an ex-boyfriend loaning me a book that fell into that genre, which had been written by a female. It was the first time I had read anything like that and I must admit that I rather enjoyed it, partly because I found it rather amusing in places.

    That all sounds awesome! Sounds like you've written so much and best of luck with your current writing. Definitely keep going practice makes perfect and you never know you might make the next big thing :)
