About me
26, married. I have a 7-year-old son and another baby boy on the way.
I'm obsessed with books. 
My baby. I can't imagine my life without her.
Ok, I just have to say this. Please forgive me if I sound snippy. I no longer read reviews on LibraryThing AT ALL. I only read reviews of books I have recently finished reading. It amazes me that so many people have no clue how to write a review. One does NOT completely give away the ending in a written review. I repeat: DO NOT. If a person on here does not give away the ending; they instead give away major plot points. It is very, very irritating. If one absolutely must mention ‘give-a-ways’ in their review, it would be much appreciated if they would head the review with the a spoiler warning. Sadly, most people do not.
Alright, rant concluded. ;-)

About my libraryConstantly growing. I can not fiqure out how to stop buying books. I have seriously tried. I wish there was a vaccine or something...........
Show me the books he loves and I shall know the man
far better than through mortal friends.

Some of the most famous books are the least worth reading.
Their fame was due to their having done something
that needed to be doing in their day.
The work is done and the virtue of the book has expired.

The man who doesn't read good books
has no advantage over the man who can't read them.

One of the benefits of advancing age is acceptance of difference. It is also licence to work on curmudgeonly behaviour - at which I find am becoming increasingly adept! *grin*
I used to feel like I should whisper bad reviews - or say nothing - especially when everyone else seems to be raving about the book in question. But now I have decided I am grown up enough to be sure of my opinions - in the cliched 'I know what I like' (and don't like) mode. I am also comfortable with being not on the same page with majority opinion - to mix a metaphor.
There's a popular British TV show called 'Grumpy Old Women' which was a hit down here in the colonies too. I did not think they were particularly grumpy nor particularly old either. Harrumph.
Oh, and all that new age cosmic stuff simply makes my blood boil. I don't know why I even bother picking drivel like 'the Alchemist' up. Every now and then I think that so many good reviews can't be all wrong and weaken - and almost always discover I have wasted both good money and scarce time. One day I will learn!

My name is Dawn and I am a librarian and the host of Toronto Public Library’s online book club: Book Buzz and a fellow LibraryThing member.
This month we are reading The Time Traveler’s Wife, by Audrey Niffenegger I noticed that you include The Time Traveler’s Wife in your library and that you gave it a 5-star review. I’d just like to invite you to visit us and share your thoughts about Niffenegger’s book. It’s a friendly easy-going book club with over 800 members and we are always looking for new points of view.
We will also be hosting a live chat with the author, Audrey Niffenegger on:
Monday, December 15, 2008. 7-8 pm (Toronto time)
If you are interested, visit us at http://bookbuzz.torontopubliclibrary.ca .
Thank-you for your time,
Dawn

I'm glad to find anyone who disliked The Alchemist. We're a minority.

I've gotten fairly possessive after losing a few books I loaned out.
I like the 'book slut' mini-pic. verah cute.
