About Me

My photo
Sarah
Norfolk, United Kingdom
I read lots and lots of books, some are quick reads and some make me think more. I also appear to have developed a serious theatre habit which I talk about a lot. I've just finished an MA degree and now spend a lot of time researching various aspects of WW1 for various causes. This is the place for my thoughts - generally about books, films, plays and travel but other things may creep in.
