About meI'm a puzzle editor dreaming of becoming a librarian. I have so many books, it would take forever to put them all on this site and review every one. It won't stop me from trying!

About my libraryWhile I love nineteenth-century British literature, I'm starting to read more modern American novels. However, my standbys remain, as always, Bronte and Austen, with a touch of Forster. I'm also a fan of interesting memoirs and social history, plus a sucker for anything starting with "The History of...".

Thanks for considering my library interesting, StoutHearted! We have quite a few interests in common, not the least of which is Jane Austen. My husband and daughter got me the Easton Press editions of the 6 Austen Novels for Christmas. I'm planning on re-reading them this year.

I have never read him yet, but just got 3 Anthony Trollope books. The first pages sound very "Austen-ish" to me, so am looking forward to reading them too. Have you ever read any of his works? If so, what do you think?

See you around!

Noticed you liked She's Come Undone, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here as well as a few other book-related sites. Thought you might like my book since it's also about a disturbed young girl's downward spiral and a bit dark. I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like (I'm out of physical copies at the moment). Let me know if you're interested. Here's a link to a summary in case you're interested:
