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 had the world of books opened up to me through audiobooks. I just thought that I couldn’t spell or retain what I read very well. It was only after autism came to town that I realised that I have dyslexia. 
    I’ve just listened to A kind of Spark and Show us Who You Are, both are by Elle Mcnicoll. Elle is autistic and both books are written around autistic lead characters. There are two more books that I’m planning to read soon. Elle spends a lot of time in schools, her books are used by many schools as teaching aids. She often posts updates showing some of her visits and how neurodivergent children are so included and not made to feel as the weird person in the class.

    That sounds cool. I really want to try and get into audiobooks - but I haven't yet. Would like to try one at some point though.

    I don't read a lot of fiction, but cookery and diy, i've got loads. When i go to the librabry i'll often borrow biographies. I does'nt have to be just anyone famous or a celebrity, but rather read just an ordinary everyday person. Perhaps an old person writing about their adventues growing up, as a child during the War ,the dangers of the blitz all around . Or a mans story about leaving home and going to fight for his Country as a 17yo, when none of them had ever travelled more than a few miles from home before.  And yet they came through all the bad times and often made friends for life.
