About meThank God I grew up with a mother who knew the value of reading to her children!! I've been addicted to books since I started reading at age 4. Few things make me happier than walking into a bookstore or a library ... including the library that I currently work in! :P I've even got a t-shirt that says, "Lead me not into temptation ... especially bookstores." Doubly appropriate seeing as I'm studying to be a pastor. :) I'm happily married to a man who also loves to read, though we read COMPLETELY different things!

About my libraryI love to read a lot of things, but I tend to end up on various genre kicks. I used to read a lot of fantasy (Anne McCaffrey, David Eddings, etc.), and I'm currently on a historical thriller kick (a la Kate Mosse, Geraldine Brooks, etc.). I'm also of the opinion that young adult fiction is often HIGHLY underrated, so I'll often pick up young adult novels, too.
