What do you want to know?
I’m a thirtysomething (at least for a little while longer) who loves books. I was born in Ohio, graduated from Ohio State, and then spent time in LA, Arlington, Virgina, NYC and Lansing, Michigan before ending up back in Ohio 9 years ago. I have a wonderful husband who never complains when I bring another book home and two furry kids-Scout the cat and Max the dog.

Your leading men include Cary Grant and Clark Gable, men who can keep up with you.Find out what kind of classic leading man you'd make by taking the Classic Leading Man Test.

This reminds me of something that happened to me. Several years ago, we were in Charlottesville, Virginia and I bought a t-shirt with that quote on it. On time when I was wearing it, a strange man came up to me and said, “I’m books.” I asked him to repeat what he said and he replied, “My name is books, you cannot live without me.” I never wore that shirt again.
