About meI'm a student with a lot of free time. My interests change all the time. I pretty much havent been bored since 1997. I'm 27. I think I am an introvert but am leaning on extrovert. I've been mad crunk lately!

About my libraryI own most of these books. I'm horrible at returning things to the library and on time. But guess what? Chicago finally came out of the stone age and upgraded their system to online renewal.

I love

girly
diaries
anything about the african diaspora (hollaaaaaaaa!)
humor
memoirs
biographies/autobiographies
conspiracy theories
"what they dont tell you about..."
coming of age
teens in crisis/teen rebels
race
class
anything on sociology
self help

I don't have any children so the children's books that you see in my catalog are books that I read when I was younger. I'm a picky reader. I generally dislike classics and the fantasy genre.If it's a nonfiction book written in a conversational tone i.e. nonfiction personal essays/accounts/interviews/anthology on life from everyday real people, chances are I'll love it.

Holla at me if you like my catalog. If you don't like it, holla at me anyway.

Ok, you were on the list of people who are getting copies re-sent. I know those books are only just starting to trickle in, so hold on a little longer? Thanks for your patience :)

Hey, Homegirl! Thanks for leaving a note! I will add some of your selections to my wish list, too. Hope you have a great week!

homegirl, I like your library. It has a lot of interesting books that I would like to add to mine. Especially the books on adverting --- such as "Aunt Jemima, Uncle Ben and Rastus..." and "Your Negro Tour Guide: Truths in Black and White".
Your Map is cool too!

Hi, Homegirl. I am reading a horror novel now -- The Tower by Brian Keene. I have a couple of dozen books on my waiting to be read list, including several young adult fiction. I read YA fiction not only for my job, but because I really do like it. I am also really into horror, supernatural stuff and fantasy -- if it is written by an African-American author, it's all the better. Your profile says you like books with a conversational tone. If so, I would recommend anything by J. California Cooper. I see that we have similar tastes in literature, fantasy notwithstanding. Educating myself about all aspects of culture of the African Diaspora is another great interest of mine -- hence the Afrocentric tags. It is my eventual goal to move to your part of the world to pursue a career in library science and immerse myself in Chicago life.
