About meIntroduction To Me: (User # 34,867)
I'm married and mother of three grown children. I work as quality auditor for a home health agency and as administrator for our family-based concrete contracting company. You can usually find me auditing nursing records, baking cookies, browsing the LibraryThing fora, bookcrossing, buying used books, cooking organic vegetables, doing sudoku, drinking coffee, eating chocolate, feeding 3 feral cats, or reading (not necessarily at the same time). In the past, I have been called "the Johnny Appleseed of books". :)
My sometimes blog about vegetable gardening

About my libraryCurrent Read(s): Click on image(s) for more information!
My Reading Preferences:
I like both fiction and non-fiction. I prefer English translations of foreign (especially Middle Eastern or Asian) novels and books by lesser known authors. I'm attracted to matte-covered trade paperbacks as they seem more exotic than other books somehow.

The collections are fun. I thought it would be ages before I got around to sorting everything but no, I did it all in one day because I couldn't help myself. :)
