Introductions!

Hello and welcome to Review Town. This space is shared by two mad, not so nerdy "20 something" nerds. It's our attempt to chronicle our passion for reading, our love for food, our obsession with music and anything that catches our fancy.

Two similar and not so similar girls became friends almost four years ago. Our passion for food, reading, travelling and 'english' music being the bonders. An idea to write and share our thoughts about what we did/read/eat has taken hold of us a number of times in the last couple of years but we never got down to it. But today, on a highly boring nothing to do day at work, the idea again took hold. The difference being that today we actually made it, finally!!! Both of us being equally surprised that an intro is being written.

Let's get to know each other better:

S: Reading, eating, cooking, cleaning, travelling, sleeping, watching re-runs on the idiot box.

E: Reading, eating, listening to music, trolling the net, stalking people online, fangirling, talking, watching movies, travelling (I travel to places in my head. Not so much in reality).

S: Thrillers, all kinds of drama, chick-lits, booker/non booker winners, occasional classics, romance, not so much non-fiction, really few autiobiographies, not so much paranormal types.
