Death by Book Avalanche

Hello, my name is Roxanne and I live in sunny Cornwall, UK. I have a very large passion for reading and have done so since I was really little, so you will very rarely see me without a book nearby. I enjoy all sorts of books...Horrors, Mysteries, Thrillers, Erotica, GLBT, Romance, Fiction, Non-Fiction, Self-Help, Fantasy and Sci-Fi...there really isn't much that I won't read.

 

I love animals! I have two beautiful dogs, Eli and Loki which are Husky/Border Collie cross.

 

As well as reading I love to surf the internet, talk about books, write about books, go to gigs, draw, listen to music and spend time with my family.

 

Feel free to add me as a friend as I enjoy meeting new people, discussing books and comparing reviews.

 

Not all of the books I have read are listed on my profile due to a Facebook app, that I used before Booklikes, crashed and I lost everything...I saved as much as I could :)

 

My Star Ratings System

★★ - Not really my thing, could be greatly improved...Meh!

★★★ - It's OK but I've definitely read better.

In the Bath. Leslie Patricelli
This is a little board book showing a baby's bath time routine. Really nice illustrations but very little words, maybe 2-3 a page. Great for really young children.
