User Profile
Mostly I read fantasy, sci-fi or historical fiction in bed, trying to fall (back) asleep. This is partly why I don't tend to review much; I don't think it's fair to say "couldn't follow the plot" or "prose too complicated" when I've skimmed through a book barely conscious. Books that I've read in recent years are fairly reliably logged, I tend to add those that I've read years ago as I find them - there are many gaps.
