About meI have always loved to read. Growing up, my mom would often tell me, "What are you doing inside reading? It's a nice day! Go outside and play!" So I would take my book and go outside and read. In high school and college, I worked in the library. I chose English and German as my majors because I love to read and I love words and language. I spent 14 years in the publishing industry. Although I've switched industries, I'm still passionate about reading and sharing the reading experience. I volunteer for a literacy organization and belong to a book group.

"One of the greatest feelings in life is the conviction that you have lived the life you wanted to live -- with the rough and the smooth, the good and the bad -- but yours, shaped by your own choices, and not someone else's." -- Michael Ignatieff

About my libraryA bit of everything, I think it represents my interests -- spirituality, business, decorating, chick lit, contemporary fiction, poetry, beauty, photography, travel, humor, cooking, history, fashion, mystery/suspense.

Noticed you liked White Oleander, 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 about a dysfunctional family (and also 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). Here's a link to a summary (and a sample chapter) in case you'd like to read more before you commit:
