Winnie the Pooh has been with me longer than any other book, and I’m just about to collect the Susan Hill book from the library. My answers are at: http://geraniumcatsbookshelf.blogspot.com/2009/11/book-memories-meme.html

Hi Kirsty, I have had a go at this meme on the ibooknet blog http://ibooknet-books4all.blogspot.com/2009/10/book-memories-meme.html

I loved He-Man! I also loved She-Ra. I used to leap off the top of my chest of drawers pretending I was riding her flying horse. I’m amazed I never broke myself. By the power of Greyskull!

Ah, I’m afraid I’m not sure how one becomes a “proper” proofreader. Catherine asked me to proofread some things for her because I’m a pal – pure nepotism, I’m afraid. That said, try the Society for Editors and Proofreaders. They have a lot of info on their website, and they also run training courses. Hope that helps, and good luck!

Oooh I do like this Meme Kirsty, I think I might give this a go later next week. How does one get into proof reading, I have to do it in one of my day jobs (oddly I need someone else to proof read my own work) and would love to proof read books?

I have a feeling the book I have had on my shelves the longest may be a He-Man book… oh dear!

ooh, I’ll definitely give this a go. And I second the love for Richard Scarry.
