About meI’m an avid reader. I LOVE books! I read a book in about 2 to 3 days on weekends and 1 book during the week. My job as a medical biller has kept me from getting to spend my days doing nothing but reading :( My mother started me reading from day one. Since then my nose has always been in a book (this explains the ink print on the tip…lol) Reading is my favorite hobby and I have been fortunate in having a wonderfully fabulous English teacher who did nothing but encourage this, as well as expand my library by turning me on to great classics and other literary genius’s. I am also a firm believer in sharing books, and often give my books to libraries and used bookstores. I have also be turned on to www.paperbackswap.com which is a great book swap site that is free, books and all

MY LIBRARY WILL NOT BE GROWING AS MUCH BECAUSE I AM IN COLLEGE. (Yay!)

Currently reading Greek Myths and Legends (love mythology)

About my libraryMy library consist of one shelf of classics (of which I have read half of one), the entire Harry Potter Collection, The Complete Outlander Series (including the unabridged audio CD’s), a lot of Clive Cussler novels, some miscellaneous works (Steven King, Robin Cook, Poets, Biographical works, a few Children’s works, etc.), and Historical Romance and Paranormal Romance novels (this is about two-thirds or more of my collection.) It includes Julia Quinn, Sherrilyn Kenyon, Christine Feehan, Gaelen Foley, Brenda Joyce, Karen Marie Moning, Sabrina Jeffries, Lisa Kleypas, Suzanne Enoch, Mary Balogh, Nicole Jordon, Kinley MacGregor, Jude Deveraux, etc. My library is so small because I used to get rid of a book once I read it but now I keep them to share and to reread. I have a little over five hundred books but have read about a fifth of what I have. I have probably read a total of any where from four and a half to eight hundred books total, but I’m young and have many decades to increase that number.

Ratings:

5=LOVED IT! Can't Wait to read the book again!

4½=Loved It. Will eventually read again.

4=Enjoyed It. Likely to read the book again on a rainy day.

3½=Liked It. Was worth reading but will probably never pick up again.

3=Okay. It was good enough to finish and I did like it but I have so many other books to read that I don't feel I will ever re-read it. I don't even think I want to re-read it. Good - but not great.

2½=Didn’t like it. Won’t reread again. May keep only because I can't seem to pawn it off.

2 and below=NEVER AGAIN!Hmmm...Don't want to read it again and am debating on whether or not I will trade the book in or give it to the library...Well..it Sucks! Book Store won’t take and shudder at the though of giving it to an unsuspecting library. Will not be staying in my library any longer than the next trash pick-up day. Can not believe anyone would publish it. (Likely isn't in my collection anymore. Just there as a warning.)

My library is far from up-to-date. Over one hundred new books have been added without being included on LibraryThing and I have sold all my V.C. Andrews books as well as many others (donated actually) because I just had to make room for new stuff. My New Year's Resolution is to get my Library Thing account up-to-date again by this summer.
