About me I live in Baltimore with my husband, 2 dogs and 3 cats in an old home that we are renovating. In honor of Poe my library has a (fake) raven that watches over me and my books.
About my library I'll read anything that takes me over the hills and far away. I love a good journey, especially when Autumn arrives and the wind turns cold. Just the time to snuggle with a book, cup of tea, and my dogs and cats. My library is both non-fiction and fiction but all I read informs me. I love historical fiction (whether it is true history or the "truer history" of some historical fantasy). I especially love to learn about strange things that have happened, odd groups of people and whatnot. But my greatest love in reading is the times, whether in our own history or an imagined one, that predate the modern world and set me free in a land much more interconnected and alive than the one in which I live.

Thank you for your kind words and for finding my library interesting. I apologize for not responding sooner - the past few months have been filled with work, writing, depressed friends, and moving to WV. Yes - I am no longer a "Marylander." I look forward to seeing you around and hope you are well.
Take care,
Moth

i must foremost extend an apology - sorry it took me so long to reply. its been a bad year so far, we recently had a death in the family, which in my experience takes a long time to deal with in its entirety... anyways, enough about me and my troubles!
i am delighted you stumbled upon my page. it is such a delight to receive comments from other like-minded and avid readers such as yourself. *smile* and the fact that you checked into my library simply from a comment i left on other user's page (that i never received a reply for) is simply divine!!
i am honored that you enjoyed perusing my shelves, you are invited to visit whensoever you wish and for as long as you would like. just be sure to stomp your feet on the way in on the doormat. frightfully dusty in here i'm afraid, and some of the older tomes have a way of hibernating so a good stomp might wake them from their slumber and make them easier to find.:)
much bliss from a fellow tree admirer,
