Today is Jane Austens 235th Birthday and I have decided to start a blog.
Well I couldnt think of a better day to start with the Queen of Romance, although it is a strange date to commemorate when you think about it. I suppose after the first 100 you just keep going and every 5 years is an achievement.
I have been meaning to do this for a while and I know that I am bout 10 years behind by starting this blog in 2010, but I doubt anyone will read it anyway. It is more a collection of the books I have read so that I can keep a record and try to avoid rereading books (which I have done in the past) and if anyone comes across this then I might steer them in the right direction of a good book.
I'm surprised there is quite a lot of thinking involved for a blog, What to call the site... what to call myself... what should it look like. But I have ripped off the plaster and put it out there. I will probably look back at it in a few weeks time and change it anyways.
Well I hope this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
