About meI bake. I dance. I teach. I learn. I am always online. I own more books than I have shelving space. I am a librarian!

Random fact: I have a hard time eating meals without reading at the same time. (One time I was so desperate I even read a grocery receipt. Sad, but true.)

About my libraryMy collection is a mishmash, primarily consisting of chic lit, young adult, memoirs and non fiction. I have a degree in English and spent two semesters focusing on African American Literature. Many of the books I have listed here were read while studying for my BA.

Although I mentioned having more books than shelving space, I do not own them all. My collection is a variety of those I own and those I borrow (whether from friends or the library).

Seeking for Happiness
by Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Seeking for happiness we must go slowly;
The road leads not down avenues of haste;
But often gently winds through by ways lowly,
Whose hidden pleasures are serene and chaste
Seeking for happiness we must take heed
Of simple joys that are not found in speed.
Eager for noon-time’s large effulgent splendour,
Too oft we miss the beauty of the dawn,
Which tiptoes by us, evanescent, tender,
Its pure delights unrecognised till gone.
Seeking for happiness we needs must care
For all the little things that make life fair.

Dreaming of future pleasures and achievements
We must not let to-day starve at our door;
Nor wait till after losses and bereavements
Before we count the riches in our store.
Seeking for happiness we must prize this -
Not what will be, or was, but that which is.

In simple pathways hand in hand with duty
(With faith and love, too, ever at her side),
May happiness be met in all her beauty
The while we search for her both far and wide.
Seeking for happiness we find the way
Doing the things we ought to do each day.

Noticed you liked The Bluest Eye, 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 southern 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:
