Fanella (aka Alison)

Hello!

About me - I'm Alison in real life. I'm 36, married with one daughter. I live in Lancashire and love reading, films and doing timewasting stuff on the computer (I arrived here via Mumsnet!)

My favourite author is the wonderful Terry Pratchett. I love his work and also greatly admire the man. In general I enjoy reading fantasy, but I'm open to anything. I particularly like Neil Gaiman, Clive Barker, Katherine Kerr, and have read quite a few Dickens too. I also really enjoyed the Harry Potter series and am not ashamed that I read them even though I'm a grown up.

At the moment I'm reading The Hollow Chocolate Bunnies of the Apocolypse by Robert Rankin. It's taking me a while to get into but it has potential.

Right I'm off to explore a bit now and dive into some discussions!

Hi alison, welcome to The Blurb, please try to ignore the wee changes going on with the look of the forum, it wont be long honest! I am another terry pratchett fan, both the work and the man, so sad to hear about his alziemers. I have only read one of the harry potter series but did enjoy it very much!

Oh, and i am maxine, mum to 2 girls and a boy due in october! Also stalk mumsnet

Hi Fanella.

Another mumsnetter here

I suspect that this site may be fun too. I like all the authors you mentioned in your post. I used to read quite a lot of Robert Rankin but I haven't read him for yeeeeeeears!

I'm still waiting for it to be my turn for the last Harry Potter - I suspect I may give up soon and get it out of the library

hi Alison, i m Jo, mum to two boys aged 18 months and 11 weeks, when i get the time i enjoy reading, which at the moment is mainly when i am breastfeeding, i really think though that i need to start reading terry pratchett books as i am outnumbered here
