Hi, my name is Kate- I like books about people and books that evoke your senses, like "Driving Over Lemons"- I love the tudor period, but my favourite book ever is Gone With the Wind. I have a degree in English Literature but hate Jane Austen and most of Dickens and love Harry Potter and Jasper Fforde.
My reading has recently become very predictable and I am looking forward to branching out a bit.

Hi Kate, Welcome to BB. Maybe you can contribute to the discussion on Gone with the Wind as your have already read it. We only read three chapters a week. (except for Glynis who loves it so much she is racing through it and then there's me who is always miles behind)  |
