About meHello - I'm Katie and new to New Hampshire. So far, I love being here. I'm fulfilling my dream of living in a draughty little house in the mountains and it's lovely. I work at a local hospital in behavioral health services where my undergraduate degree in Social Work comes in very handy. However, I'm thinking of grad school and an MLS or MLIS is tantalizing. We shall see.

In 2008, I participated in the 50 Book Challenge; my challenge thread can be found here.

In 2009, I am participating in the 75 Book Challenge; my chellenge thread can be found here

About my libraryI have a fairly eclectic library. I really enjoy reading feminist fiction/nonfiction - most notably in my collection would be books by Margaret Atwood, Joanne Harris, Alice Hoffman and about Eleanor Roosevelt, although I'd love to read more female authors or about other successful women. I also have a soft spot for classic literature, although I don't/have not read as much as I would like. I'm hoping to fix this with my 999 Challenge.

I've only recently been adding books to my library that I don't actually own, which are tagged: do not own. I will also try to tag how I got my hands on it.

I've also only recently discovered the "Date attained," "date began," and "date read" fields. I've tried to update that as close as possible; I don't put exact finish dates in my book journal (paper, not on the computer), just the month and year. Because of this, I've used the first day of the month as my finish date just to make things easy. Plus, it still gives me a good idea when I finished it.

Noticed you liked The Glass Castle, 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). Let me know if you're interested. Here's a link to a summary in case you're interested:

Thanks,

Chris
I'm doing well. Thanks :) I hope all is well on your end, too :)
Hi Katie
Congratulations on your "hot review" status found on today's home page. Your review of Pride and Prejudice is great!

Linda
Hi. I love your name. Very clever. That's all.
Brent
Thank you for your kind note about Mrs. Dalloway; it was very thoughtful of you.
Tui
Hi Katie, thanks for your comments about Sarah's Key.
Heidi
Hi, I saw that you are reading Sarah's Key, it is on my to read list, just wondering your thoughts on it.
Thanks
Heidi
Hi fasciknitting--Thought I'd stop by to say hello to a fellow Pym fan and to ask about your name--are you a knitter? :)

Thanks for noting The Dahl book The Witches as one of your favorite January reads. I was able to obtain a copy from my local library and it is next up to be read.
Hi Katie
I've been following your thread on the 2009 75 book challenge. I also note that you have added some historical books to your library recently. I'm curious about [Truman]. Did you read this one yet? And, if so, what did you think.
I just signed up for Ravelry... maybe I can actually finish some projects!
Thank you :) Now onward with the book adding!
Yes, it is a small world, and getting smaller all the time I think!

Thanks for dropping by. Have a great afteroon!

It's understandable. We were pretty much preoccupied with social work books & classes. I kind of wish I had a paper book journal. You've inspired me to start one up :)

Some books I've gotten a chance to jot down in the past, but right now I have to rely on memory & a little help from google :) I know I've read a ton of books, but I don't think I can remember every single one, so I'm just putting the stuff I can recall.

Haha. Backwards or chronological, whatever works best for you :)
Wow. I wasn't even aware of that :). I guess because we never really talked about books we've read in the past. I read the majority of the VC Andrews family sagas before I entered high school. Up until 1999. That's crazy, but in a good way :)
Thank you. To be honest, your library has the same effect on me. :)
welcome to the 2009 75 Books Challenge group. Thanks for joining in!
Thanks for adding BannedBooksLibrary to your Interesting Libraries. Happy Reading!
You're right: The $25 credit every $250 is a great way to get us to come back.

I am nautilus on Ravelry. There seemed to be lots of "lefty" names, which could be confusing in a forum-type setting, so I went with the book reference.
My Loopy Ewe package came today and everything is SO wonderful! I want to call in work tomorrow and just knit all day!

They said they credited you $5, so I hope you get to use it on something fun! Thanks again for telling me about them!

Lots of exclamation points! I'm still excited from opening my yarn and cataloging it on Ravelry. :D
Thanks for introducing me to The Loopy Ewe! I just ordered a bunch of stuff to make socks for family members for Christmas. It is a great store -- I'm addicted for life.

If you don't get your $5 referral prize soon, let me know so I can tell them you deserve it! I followed the link from the email you sent me, but there wasn't anything that had me enter your name or anything. Hopefully the link worked like it's supposed to.

Happy reading & knitting! :)
Many thanks, Katie, for locating my January list. I was afraid that it was gone forever.
Katie-
Hi again! Of course you can pick my brain about the UNT SLIS program. You might also want to check out some of the threads on the Librarians who Librarything board-there are a few threads about being in school and considering it.

As for what they look for in their program-the folks at UNT really value a diverse background from their students. So, any major you had as an undergrad is useful for them-obviously, there are lots of English, History and Education majors (there's also a big school librarian program there), but there were also a few business majors and biology majors (like yours truely). A less-than-stellar undergrad GPA is forgiven by decent GRE results.

If you have more questions (which I'd be tickled to answer), email might be more efficient. My email address is kaelirenee@hotmail.com. Good luck with your admissions!
