About Me

My photo
My Book Affair
Dublin, Ireland
Between dash and rush of daily life, I like to slip away into the world of books. There's nothing like a finely wrought image to send you into a spin for days on end. It is a truth, universally acknowledged, that ... when I am deep inside a book, or simply writing about one, I feel more like myself than at any other time. Michelle Burrowes
