About meI am mommy to a toddler, a husband and two cats. What time I don't spend taking care of them or painting, I spend reading and hunting for new books to read. I had a great dilemma in college whether to be an English lit major or art, and chose art. That path took me to San Francisco for five years, but my art studies got sidetracked by motherhood. Now my focus is teaching my daughter to love reading and books. So far she's inherited about 100 of my old children's books, and I keep buying her more! These are her books.
About my libraryI have always collected books. I search for them at library discard sales, thrift stores, used book stores and occasionally garage sales. I try only to buy books I have read and know I love, otherwise the piles of books and money spent on them would go through the roof! My criteria for adding a book to my collection is: would I read this book again? Some of my books I have read not only two or three times, but five or six since childhood. My dream for my library someday is to have sturdy, aesthetically pleasing bookshelves, in a room just for books. With a comfy chair by the window.
Many of my books are missing dust jackets. So occasionally I make my own, usually from collages of photographs clipped out of magazines. These books are tagged "Own Design".
