Samantha's Questions:

1. How are you today?

 I'm feeling fine, thank you, looking forward to a quiet weekend with lots of reading time!

2. What are you currently reading?

I'm currently reading Longbourn by Jo Baker, which is a fictional story based around the below stairs servants who looked after the Bennett family from the book Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.

3. Who is your favourite author?

Diana Gabaldon, the author of the Outlander series about a 20th century nurse who travels back in time to 18th century Scotland where she meets, and falls in love with Jamie Fraser, a charismatic highlander. I'm eagerly awaiting book 8 in the series, which is due to be published in March 2014.

4. Which genre will you never read?

I never say 'never' to anything as I am constantly surprised by genres ~ however,  I'm not keen on science fiction or horror.

5. Why did you start your blog?

I started my blog because I enjoy discussing books and sharing my love of reading with a wider audience.

6. Do you own an ereader?

I do. I read on Kindle and also on my iPad

7. What's your favourite meme that you take part in?

At the moment I only take part in the Friday Book Beginnings meme which is hosted by Gilion at Rose City Reader ~ I enjoy this one as it gives me even more ideas for books I would like to read and it has introduced me to lots of new friends !

8. Are you a member of a book group?

Yes I am. I help to moderate a website which is dedicated to the books of my favourite author, Diana Gabaldon. 

Within this website , I organise a monthly Book of the Month and also several group readalongs . This month we are discussing Beautiful Ruins by Jess Walter, and are just finishing a group read of Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte.

I also attend a local book group once a month in my library. This month's book is Time's Legacy by Barbara Erskine.

9. Have you read any books more than once?

I have read the Outlander series more than once - in fact I have re-read the books too many times to count !
