About meI am a young retiree with a lifelong love of reading, of libraries and of bookstores. As I travel part time, I get to explore libraries and bookstores around the country. If I am feeling blue I go to the local library (within walking distance of my home) to feel invigorated by "the written word."
My best memories of growing up in Florida was riding my bike to the library and bringing home several Nancy Drew books and escaping into the hammock in the back yard or hiding in the mango tree with my books.
Other interests are the personalities in current events, traveling, hiking/walking, birding, grandchildren. My personal mantras are "everyone deserves a 'family'" and "the opportunity to read needs to be available to all."
About my libraryMy home library is an eclectic collection of fiction and non-fiction, religion and politics, how-to and how-not-to. No one could ever go to one section of the library or a bookstore and say "this reminds me of you......" And the beauty of it all is that I am always open to reading something new and different.
My on-line library will be much bigger than my at home library. Unless a book really grabs me or I want it for reference or to write in I will either get it from the library or if I am in possession, I will give it away. Books are to be shared!!!

At least, that's my assumption about how it works.

I just wanted to point out that Any Given Doomsday isn't, in fact, urban fantasy. It is paranormal romance - I know, I know, but there really is a difference. And from what I've seen people say, it's a crappy example of paranormal romance at that. PR is not my genre of choice, so I can't judge it in regards to the genre, but I couldn't even finish the book, myself. If you're interested in trying some real urban fantasy, this might be a good place to start. Personally, I really like Charles de Lint's The Blue Girl and Robin McKinley's Sunshine.
I hope you find something you like better! There's a lot of good stuff out there.
