About My Library

My library is large but it is a family library so not all areas reflect my interest. My interest is mainly modern fiction and history though I read some science books (biology) as well. I also have some favourite mystery writers (mostly British and Scandinavian).
I keep an ongoing list of the books I have read commencing in 2008.
