About my libraryI have found LibraryThing a wonderful distraction from the demands of real life.
My books reflect my interests in
* community education/development,
* mental health/psychiatry,
* social theory/sociology,
* LGBT/gender/sexuality
* SF
* women's fiction
* old Penguins and Pelicans (which I collect)
* Ireland (where I am from)
* Scotland (where I live!)
and a whole lot else besides.

Yes indeed I am Cherry Wilder's daughter. (One of two). I'm glad to hear there are fans of her work out there. Even though she never had a mass audience I do know that her fiction very well received by quite a few people. Are you familiar with her final novel--"The Wanderer"? Its very good too, although I only read the galley proofs and not the printed book that the editors had another author "finish" because they didn't like her ending.
Take care and I'll try and be a more frequent visitor to my librarything page! :)
