Avid reader (when I get the time) of fantasy and technology fiction and non-fiction. Recently rediscovering classic Sci-Fi. Prefer paper to electronics and am a big fan of libraries and bookshops everywhere.
Note: I'm only listing my fiction reading here at present, and I've only gone back to 2019 so far...
Any recommendations related to the books I've read very welcome :)
