(Just kidding...I love Anne of Green Gables too)

I am more of a real life Jane Bennet.

Twisted my ankle and "caught a chill" on a walk with hubby to be, and moved into his home as there were no stairs. Then never left 🙂

All these lovely characters like Noddy, Anne of Green Gables etc.

 

What on earth does it say about me, cos now I'm worried.

 

My favourite author as a child (pre-teen and teen) was Edgar Allen Poe

 

The Raven,  Murders in the Rue Morgue, The Pit and The Pendulum, etc

 

Couldn't get enough of it.

 

Dark, very dark  

Cinderella

Yes, I loved Agatha Christie as well as Poe.  But I couldn't see myself as Miss Marple or Hercules Poirot.  Is there a character with whom you particularly associated ?

Funny, I was always a book reader and yet,  I never associated myself

with any character.

 

I think I must have had enough personal drama as a kid that the written

word just transported me without the need to be any one of them.

 

The personal drama was probably why I liked Poe

Reading is a wonderful way to "stop the world" for awhile.
