About meI love to read and will read almost anything....seriously! My earliest memories include books. My parents didn't read much, but my Grandmother did and I was always fascinated by her shelves stacked two deep of books. I was later to realize that these weren't just any books. She had a lot of the classics, and a lot of poetry and I am priviledged to have a few of her precious books in my collection. (although at this point they haven't made it onto my LT library list) One of my fondest memories is sitting next to her in our sunroom while she read me poems. I soon found that books were a great way to occupy many otherwise boring hours. We often went on family trips to visit relatives, or the occasional holiday. Books became my way of enjoying the trip and I was fortunate enough to be able to read in the car while traveling and with no unfortunate side effects. They also helped pass the time in other waiting situations. For many years I have rarely gone anywhere without a book...thus my ID on this site...Never without a book. :)

My latest project and one I'm extremely proud to be a part of, is a used bookstore! It's called 'Never Without A Book Ltd.' (nice name...huh? ;) ) We're working very hard to get everything ready and hoping to open in late June/09. If you're in the Edmonton area, please stop in and say Hi! You can also check out the store's page on Facebook and become a Fan! :)

About my libraryCurrently the majority of my library is sitting in boxes in the garage. The books I've listed so far are those I've accumulated in the past year and a half. Some passed on by friends, and others gathered in anticipation of reading the series as a whole. Occasionally I take a break from a series, or a particular genre when I find it's not holding my interest. Consequently my library is quite varied. A banquet for the mind. Hmmmm....what flavour do I feel like today? ;)
