A blogging bookseller and single mum from Kent says what she loves about the Guardian: particularly G2 and Saturday's paper

I started reading the Guardian at university when I was about 19, nine years ago. We used to get the Times at home, which I still like, and the Daily Mail, which I hate. But the Guardian appealed to me straight away. Now I've even got my dad into it and he's stopped buying the Times and has become a Guardian subscriber. My favourite part is the features in G2. I also love the Saturday paper – GTMY is always interesting, of course, but I also like Tim Dowling and the magazine. I love the Review section particularly – I'm a bookseller at Waterstones so it comes in useful. I like cooking so always enjoy the Guardian's recipes, and all the fashion stuff is great.

I write a blog called Sugar Baby Love and often touch on stuff I've read in the Guardian. The recent essay by Jeanette Winterson on love was particularly brilliant. I've used Guardian Soulmates too. It didn't work out amazingly, to be honest, and I think there is something to the article that ran in G2 the other day about the internet changing relationships. I'm a single mum and I live in Deal, Kent. It's not a huge cosmopolitan place, but we do have a great cabaret night called The Private Widdle, and JB Priestley was from here. Perhaps it should feature again in Let's Move To…
