About meLibrarian for a small PK thru 8th grade private school. Also a wifey, Mum and addicted to many things....my family, books, european boardgames, photography and computers. Originally from England,born in Wales, Hubby from Scotland born and bred. Between us an adorable son born here in the USA where we having been living for quite a while now.
About my libraryWhen my son started to read I began to search for wonderful stories to encourage him to develop a love of reading. In the process I also found a new love/addiction for myself in the form of Kids Lit, I am having a blast.
I find most books through online Blogs and hours spent in bookshops by the Kids and Teen Fiction with huge cup of white chocoalte mocha....heaven.
I have many more books that I wish for, at present this catalog only consists of the books I/we have bought since Jan 2006. Some are bought to read out loud to my son or for me to enjoy now. The ones for an older audience I read and will keep with the intention of him reading them if he wants one day.
I have a huge soft spot for British authors or stories set in Europe in any era. I love to see British words and spellings used and mention of things I grew up with that are unique to the British....a lovely touch of home from a book, a little homesickness created for a soppy Brit.
If a book is first published in the UK then I love to read that version before they amercaniz/se(!!!) it for the USA audience. I love, love to see Mum instead of Mom, it's the little things in life. If you know of books I'd enjoy then please go ahead and post them here.

Beautifully written and illustrated.
Anything by Roald Dahl. His British roots show.
