Reading is my Passion.

Bloganuary writing promptWhat books do you want to read?

View all responses

Ever since I was a kid, I have loved firstly speculative fiction, especially fantasy, then books on history and finally mathematics/science textbooks.

This interest stems from my various interests, needing to understand the history and the riches that come from that knowledge. I have used this learning to influence my writing
