About meI am a retired special education teacher who specialized in learning and behavior disorders with a particular emphasis on reading remediation. I'd rather read than just about anything else. My husband doesn't understand the obsession with books. My recently married daughter shows signs of being like me. Fortunately my son-in-law understands.

About my libraryMy library is heavy on YA and children's literature because I'm always looking for books to interest my students. It's tough for a 14-year-old whose reading level is at a low third grade level (or lower), so I like having a huge classroom library. My "skinny books" tag is for those books that are less than 150 pages -- short enough that my students will at least pick them up. Other fiction is mostly trashy romance and suspense or fantasy/fairy tales. These are the ones I've probably read 8-10 times each because I like to visit the characters often. I do read better literature, but usually check them out at the library. My nonfiction is mostly reference material for my my job or my hobbies: quilting, gardening, cooking, and geneaology.
