About meI'm a corporate librarian with some background in the used/rare book trade, special collections librarianship, and eighteenth- and nineteenth-century literature. I was seduced by the corporate world nearly a decade ago in order to finance my book addiction, but I miss the smell of softly-aging paper while I plug away at electronic databases.

My husband and I live in New England with two very mischievous dogs. When I'm not reading, I'm usually watching movies; I love films almost as much as I love books...almost.

Recently finished:
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo - Stieg Larsson
The Siege of Krishnapur - J.G. Farrell
Thérèse Raquin - Émile Zola

About my libraryThe books listed are only what I have on the shelves (or the tables, nightstands, floors, and other flat surfaces). My husband and I just finished the traumatic experience of weeding half our collection, although we're delighted at the reason for doing so (we're expecting a future bookworm in the fall).
