With reviews of books such as Lynda La Plantes Prime Suspect and more recently Sophie Hannah's Hurting Distance and Robert Muchamore's Maximum Security I thought it might be nice to formally introduce you to Leanne. TT
ABOUT ME.
My name is Leanne and I live in the little leafy town of Ryton, in the Tyne Valley. I work with with Mr T and have counted the Terrys as good friends for almost a decade now.
I have a full blown obsession with literacy - in particular the importance of reading. I've been an avid reader since I was a tiny girl and I truly feel that it has shaped my life.
I will be lucky enough to be popping up on Tracy's wonderful blog every so often as a guest reviewer, so it's probably about time I told you lovely folks a bit more about myself. As I could happily waffle on all day, I felt it may be slightly less torturous for you if I made two lists ...
Things I love and value above all others:
- My long suffering other half, Joe
- My awesome family and friends
- My Bedlington Terrier, Willow
- All books - in particular crime, historical fiction and cosy murder mysteries
- The authors Sharon Bolton, Mari Hannah, MC Beaton & Richard Montanari
- The smell of new books
- Animals (especially dogs, otters and penguins)
- Chips
- Chicken and leek pie
- Country pubs
- Football
- Whitby
- Cider
- Cooking
- The Hairy Bikers
- Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall
- Trance music
- Eating out
- Snow
- The countryside
- History
- Billy Connolly
Things I hate:
- Arrogance
- Bullying
- Racism & fascism
- Wasps
- Flying
- Celery
- Animal cruelty
- Parsnips
- Rudeness - in particular individuals who have a lack of manners
- Sharks
- Negativity
- Being too hot
- Blood.
Leanne.

Nice to "meet" you, Leanne, and thanks for sharing these things. I know this is primarily a book blog, but I'd love if you shared a photo of Willow with us sometime. Bedlingtons are such neat looking dogs!
This is a neat post.
A list of likes and dislikes is, in my opinion a great way to express oneself, especially to a new audience.
I share many of the likes and dislikes listed here. I do not think that I have ever had aChicken and Leak Pie but I am getting hungry just thinking of one :)
Hey Leanne, I think a picture of your dog & this would be perfect. Based on your likes and dislikes I think we would get on grand

A pleasure to meet you! ^-^
Cheers, folks!
Kelly & Lainy (love the name)- I've sent Tracy a couple of pictures of Willow, so she should be appearing on the blog soon :)
Brian - you simply MUST try chicken and leek pie - it's amazing!!
L xx
Thanks Leanne, I'll be sure to share those photos soon.
Not a fan of chicken and leek pie for obvious reasons, I do however love a good leek pudding.
Welcome! I look forward to reading your posts!
