About Rob

Rob, a self-confessed bibliophile, is without any hope of rehabilitation. He gets unnaturally excited over anything book-shaped, and if book sniffing were a crime then he would have been locked up years ago (which wouldn't bother him in the slightest provided his cell was lined with books)

    I’m with Bart… the cover for The Quickening Maze drew my eye immediately.

    Im in the middle of Wolf Hall. I love this period of history, but am finding it a little heavy going!
