About meI'm an avid reader, I've been this way ever since I learned how to read! It's what I'm really into these days when I'm not at work. I'm a huge Outlander fan. While waiting for the next book to come out, I intersperse my reading with a lot of Highland, time travel and historical romances to tide me over. I also try to read some current bestsellers or classics and historical fiction and mysteries, mostly set in Great Britain.

About my libraryI have tagged the books in my library by the year I read them. I also have some other self explanatory tags, categorizing them. Many books I do not own, some I do. This is mainly for me to have a list of all the books I've read and what year. I've rated them all according to how I felt about them at the time I read them. For all I know if I read them again now, I'd feel differently about them. I read all of the Nancy Drew books back in the early 70's, but I'm not listing them here. They were probably the last mysteries I've read. I can't remember all the books I've read in my life, but it's fun trying!
