About
I’m a 37 year old married gal from Ohio. I’ve been married ten years to a wonderful man and we have a cat, Scout, and a dog, Max. I love books and enjoy many genres, but must admit that although I’ve started many a biography I have yet to finish one. I received my Bachelor’s in English Ed from Ohio State. I spent five fun years working for Barnes & Noble in Arlington, VA and Lansing , MI, and a year behind the reference desk at our local library. So, as long as I’m surrounded by books I am content. Maybe one day I’ll be reviewing my own book

What Jane Austen heroine are you?




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.
