About meLike everyone on the site, I'm book obsessed. I don't have as many books as I'd like, but I certainly have enough to make moving more annoying and painful than normal.

I keep my books completely organized on my shelves by fiction/non-fiction, genre, then alphabetical by author's last name. All are kept in pristine condition except for a few books that were dog-eared and spine-bent before I acquired them. They are various used books I have gathered from different places throughout my life and have lovingly accepted them into my library to give them the care and attention they previously did not receive.

I recently received my MS in Forensic Science from John Jay College of Criminal Justice, however my undergrad BA was in English (with a History minor) from Boston College. Yes, very different fields, but I love them all and it makes a great conversation starter.

About my libraryMy non-fiction books are slowly catching up to my fiction section. As an English major undergrad, I've amassed a decent collection of classics and literature that any good academic should have. However, these past few years have seen a growing love of history, particularly US History with an emphasis on Presidents, which has begun to dominate my recent purchases. My history obsession shows no signs of slowing down and will be feeding my library collection steadily.

The books listed on this site so far are the editions I can remember, as I have most of them in storage. Until they come out of storage, this online library will never be complete.
