I have quite an eclectic taste when it comes to reading. My favourite Authors are Maya Angelou, 'I know why the Caged Bird sings' is so beautifully written.
Ken Follett, 'World without End, Pillars of the Earth' and 'Column of Fire' trilogy. I love Historical fiction. And Maeve Binchy's books. in particular 'Light a Penny Candle'.

First reads

As a child, Enid Blyton's books like 'The Faraway tree ..The famous five, The Wishing Chair ect, all had a great impact on me. Made me realise you only had to open a book to experience a new adventure.
