About meI am a Reference Librarian at a public library. I like reading fantasy and some science fiction, fiction, history, and books on archaeology. Young Adult books are great fun. I read way too many paranormal romance books for my own good. It's an addiction and the darn things tend to come in series.

About my libraryIf you look at my Collections, you can see I borrow way more than I buy. The books I actually own are in the collection, Your Library.

The books in the collection, To read are books that I plan to read that have already been published. The books I will want to read when they are published I put in the collection, Wishlist.

Books I read April '07 - March '08 are tagged, Apr'07-Mar'08
Books I read April '08 - December '08 are tagged Apr'08-Dec'08
What I read in 2009 will be tagged 2009. I also made a collection for books I read in 2009.

999 Challenge

Hello, I was looking at different ratings on the books in my library & noticed we have a lot of the same authors/books. I just wanted to recommend The Vampire Academy by Richele Mead. If you haven't read this series I think you will really enjoy it. It is YA but I really enjoyed it.

Hi, Nita!
Welcome to the US Presidents Challenge!

I'm glad that you decided to join us.

Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions. This is my first time with challenges and we want to do it right and make it fun for everyone.

Again, Happy you're with us!

Thank you for joining Pro and Con (Religion). I hope this is a place where the comfortable are afflicted and the afflicted are comforted. Let’s go it with all seriousness, but I hope we can have great fun at the same time. If I were God, I would part the waters of distance, and instantly transport us all to this great pub I used to frequent in Germany with a group of other Auslanders, but alas, I am but a lowly mortal, and so we have to do this via the internet.

All I ask is that every one remain respectful, even if there are times when you are spewing your coffee over the screen.
