About me I'm absolutely addicted to reading, and I read several books a week (one is generally an audio book). I also maintain a literary blog called Literary License (short reviews, real opinions): litlicense.blogspot.com. Stop by and join the discussion.

PS--The photo is me pretending to be from NYC even though I actually live in Houston.

About my library My reading is focused on contemporary fiction or memoirs (particularly those related to food), though I've never met a genre I didn't like. I enjoy reading many general non-fiction titles as well.
