Trinny Woodall

Hi there, my name is Trinny Woodall, this is my first attempt at a web site so go easy on me! I am 29, obviously female and I have a very famous namesake.

I was born in Oxfordshire and until recently I lived there. I now live in London though, although I do enjoy travelling out to the countryside. My hobbies are books, books and more books. I love reading books - I just cannot seem to get enough books to read. A lot of my friends ask my advice as to what book to read and what I think of the top selling books. I think it is best to look at the best selling books to get a feel for what kind of book you should be buying, as good books have a way of selling well and becoming best selling books, and poor books do not make it onto the best sellling lists, by and large. Popular books may not be to your taste but I invariably find that there will be at least one book in the top sellers that you will like and may become your own personal recommended book.

I have to tell you about speed dating, without it I would never have met Mark. I was always the shy type and normally find it very difficult to start chatting to men but with speeddating the men come to you!

My friends were quite excited I have found a dating formula that worked and what is speed dating they would say? Well, here is my experience.....

Upon arrival at my speed dating event, I was given a personalised badge with a number on it and a ´speeding ticket´ where I could write details of the men I met. If I liked anyone I met then I could check their box on the ticket. Guess what? I certainly checked Mark's box. He was a hunk. He wore dark black, just like a hero in a number of the books I read. He was rather dashing. He enjoyed talking to me about books and what books he had read recently. He told me he was an avid book reader, and one of his questions he asked me was what was my favourite book. He knew the way to my heart. Anyway, back to my story - once the dating part of the evening started, those with badge number one started at table number one, those with badge number two at table number two and so on. After four minutes, a bell was rung, and being a girl I stayed seated and all the guys moved round one table. This continued (with a twenty minute half time break) until I had met everyone there. Mark and I just clicked, and I loved hearing about his favourite books. I never believed in love at first sight but it happens believe me! Maybe one day we can open a bookshop together and sell cheap books online.
