Emma B

I work full time in higher education administration. I have a partner, three children (one a big reader), two parents, a house, two pianos, a compost heap, a broken kitchen draw and a lot of food trodden into my carpets. I recently sold several hundred of my/my ex-husband's books to wipe the slate clean and only kept hold of absolute favourites as well as things I still want to read and books that I have yet to take to the charity shop. This was a form of literary liberation; I intend to keep things lean and I think this site will help me be more selective with reading matter.
