The blog:
This blog is what happened when I discovered that the internet is full of reading challenges and decided that I wanted in on them. I’ve had book sites before, in a number of different formats, but they’ve all ended up dead for one reason or another (mostly because my domains have expired before I got a reminder to renew them, sadly enough).

The domain:
Was registered on 11 November 2007 at DreamHost and is also hosted by them. I’ve a friend who’s had her domains with them for years and always seemed very pleased with their service, so for this, my fifth domain, I decided to go with them as well. The name is from the song Stray Talk by Maxïmo Park, one of my favourite bands.

The reader:
I’m Love and I live in southern Sweden where I work as a pharmacist. In my spare time, I read. A lot. I’ve been an avid reader ever since I was little and people used to tease me because I constantly had my nose in a book. These days they don’t tease me anymore, but even if they did, I wouldn’t care, because books have always kept me sane and I have no doubt they’ll keep doing so.

When I don’t read, I watch TV, spend time online, cuddle my kittens and drink tea. My idea of the perfect afternoon is being cuddled up under a blanket, with two kittens on my lap and a cup of tea and a good book to enjoy.

The photo of me was taken by Banquo of Tea on a weekend spent with her.
