My A-Z of Books
Author you've read the most books from...
Diana Gabaldon - I've been hooked on her Outlander series since 1991. I'm eagerly awaiting book number 9 in the series.
Book 8 - Written in My Own Heart's Blood was published in 2014 and as it's usually 4 or 5 years between books , I've got a while to wait !

My original 1991 copy is falling to pieces but I love it. But just to be safe, I have multiple copies of Outlander ,including a precious, signed 20th anniversary edition.
Best Sequel Ever...
Dragonfly in Amber - Book two in the Outlander series, after this I was well and truly hooked and began my long love affair with Jamie Fraser...
Currently Reading...
This Must Be The Place is published on the 17th May
Drink of Choice when reading...
Darjeeling tea, piping hot, milk, no sugar and usually in cat mug. This cup and saucer is from Ikea...
E-Reader or Physical book...
I'm a bit of both. Nothing will ever take the place of the look, feel and smell of a paper book but my kindle is enormously useful when my eyes are tired and I need bigger print.
Fictional character you probably would have dated in high school
Jon Snow from Game of Thrones - he is seriously cute !
Glad you gave this book a chance...
The Scottish religious reformer John Knox, never figured highly on my list of historical figures to learn more about, but The First Blast of the Trumpet by Marie Macpherson absolutely captured my imagination. It ripples with rich Scottish vernacular...
Hidden gem book...
The Flax Flower by Amanda Maclean - I reviewed this for the Historical Novel Society. It's an independently published book by a Scottish author, based on the old ballad Mill O Tifty's Annie. It's contents are a hidden gem...

Hey, so this is kind of an insane request, but I'm on the hunt for that exact mug and saucer from Ikea. They have stopped making them! Its my girlfriends favourite mug and she dropped it recently and for her birthday i've been trying to track down another one. There Isn't any chance you would fancy selling it? I'm sorry for the random comment!!
