I’m Catherine and this Linger Longer With Books blog is my celebration, with you, of books and storytelling.
I read fiction, non fiction, paperbacks, hardbacks, audiobooks and e-books.
On the weekends, you’ll find me in a coffee shop with my current read, at home on the sofa reading with my rescue cat, Shelby, planning the next author event or book festival to travel to.
I look forward to you joining me as I linger longer with books.
About Me
I’ve been an avid reader since I was a little girl thanks to being from an enthusiastically bookish family and having brilliant school teachers. Growing up, I have fond memories of going to my local library with my granny and twin sister, and filling up a trolley bag with the books we’d borrow.
I studied English Literature for A-Level and then English for my Undergraduate Degree. If I’m honest, the studying did see me fall a little out of love with reading during my twenties.
By my late twenties, I found my true appetite for reading again. Since then, I’ve read voraciously- fiction, nonfiction, paperback, hardback, audiobook and e-book. I’m a huge advocate of public libraries, second hand bookshops and independent booksellers. I love being part of the book community and welcome your thoughts and feedback.
