Sobre la meva biblioteca
I have a bookcase and piles of books I have not read yet(TBR's). My tastes are varied but I seem to really gravitate toward books with any kind of WW II theme. However, I read contemporary fiction,some pop stuff like thrillers and serial killer books. I also like some historical stuff other than WW II and auto and biogs too!
Sobre mi
NOW WE ARE SIX-TY!

When I was One,
I had just begun.
When I was Two,
I was nearly new.
When I was Three
I was hardly me.
When I was Four,
I was not much more.
When I was Five,
I was just alive.
But now I am Six,
I'm as clever as clever,
So I think I'll be six now for ever and ever.

A.A. Milne

I am a laid off mom to 3 kids grown and flown. We also have a cat named Edie that we are supposedly babysitting! That was 7 years ago! In my parochial school my last name started with W so I sat in the back of the class room hidden behind Carol Wicktor who was about 6 ft tall. This was in 6th grade. The bookcase was right behind me. So for an entire school year I devoured all the Nancy Drew books(My fav),Cherry Ames & Dana Girls Books. This is where my love of reading occurred. Later that summer I saw Gone With The Wind and promptly went home and read my Mom's 1939 copy! I never read another kids book again! I spent most of my adult life reading things from word of mouth around the office,etc. and the best seller list. Then came the internet and various message boards and online reading journals I have been going to for 16 years. My tastes have been so expanded and I am happy to say I have been exposed to books I never,ever would have heard of and have loved them.
