So this is where you say hello then?

[Tempest]

As per the custom, I'd like to say hello to all my fellow book readers. Really looking forward to sharing some views with you all, having some debates and generally making some new friends. Without boring you all with my life story, I'm a 20 something female from the South east of England, specifically interested in the sci fi/ fantasy genre, but am also partial to humour, historical fiction and non fiction, and biographies. Of course you lovely people may well introduce me to some new classics, and I'm looking forward to it

Essex girl!

Welcome.

What sort of sci fi are we talking? Hard or soft? Or is that too much information for a first date?

 

[Tempest]

Essex girl indeed, and proud of it

I'll have a go at anything (ooh err) when it comes to sci fi, no real preference. I admit to prefering sci fi with a twist of humour, but I've read my fair share of ST and SW novellas. Arthur C Clarke is a little long winded for my liking, but it has been a while since I've revisited him.

I like it when there's complicated stuff that's not explained with real science because it wouldn't work with the real science and I just get annoyed. It's why I don't get on very well with Star Trek. I'm a Iain M Banks and Alastair Reynolds sort of a lass.
