Groups1001 Books to read before you die, 50 Book Challenge
About meI just turned 40 in April and am starting to panic that I will never finish the books on my shelves. I love books and I purchase them compulsively (amazon is my curse), though I constantly make promises not to buy anymore. I also borrow books from the library, which puts me even farther behind in getting through my TBR.
I prefer contemporary literature, classics, and the occasional mystery. I don't read much nonfiction other than history and literary crticism, though I do own quite a few nonfiction works as well.
About my libraryMy virtual library consists of all the books I own. I don't list borrowed books here, since it makes it easier when I want to know if I own a particular book (yes, I am guilty of not remembering all 1500 titles).
I still need to work on my tags, reviews, etc.

Was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here as well as a few other book-related sites. Saw you liked Paris Trout, and I thought you might like my novel since it's also southern and a bit dark. I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like. Let me know if you're interested. Here's a link to a summary in case you're interested:

What a beautiful name !!
This is Maggie/Jeannie......it is a long story but Maggie is my middle name. I use it often to avoid confusion when it comes to online stuff.
I am very impressed with your library. I thought I had an impressive number of books....you have me beat :>)
I am off to look through your shelves a bit.
By the way, my tags are terrible, I was in such a rush to get my books listed that I really messed them up. A project for some rainy day weather.
