About meI am a 75 year old woman who loves books, and words used in many forms. I can read a book a day, if that is all I do that day, which is why I love retirement. I have always been a "wordy" person, having worked for newspaper, magazines, as a therapist and on TV and radio, along with PR work. I still love to go to book sales and never pay more than $1.00 for a book, thanks to the generosity of my community who donate their books to the book sales. I, in turn, donate any and all books so others can enjoy them.

About my libraryMy husband made me a full-wall bookcase and it is full, of books that I want to keep or haven't gotten around to reading. I like most things written, but change periodically, depending upon my mood. I especially like the Kellerman books, and most detectives. I read and used self-help books for years in my profession, so shy away from them. Books are my best friends.
I recently purchased a Kindle, and love it. I cannot believe the wonderful books I can get for free and have access to books I had no idea existed. I'm constantly downloading a new author and having a delightful time.
