About meI'm a chick from Ohio majoring in both Classics and English. I love anything that has to do with ancient societies, Tudor / Elizabethan England, or the 1920's.

About my libraryMy library is dominated by historical fiction, Shakespeare, and Classics stuff, but I'm always on the hunt for good nonfiction or something to make me laugh.

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:

Too bad most of them are in storage right now (hence the "box" tags).

Did you know there is a BPAL group? There's only two members right now. Come on over & make it three! :)
