About meBooks, gardening, birds, and Aryuvedic cooking - that's what keeps me going on this earthly planet. I work in an independent bookstore and then I go home to a beef farm. I have kitties for comfort and entertainment and enjoy walking on our beautiful spot on the planet. Yard work, flowers, and vegetables come before housework in spring, summer, and fall. In between - I read. Winter - reading is topmost.

About my libraryMainly it's fiction I crave. Then I'm inside someone else's head - their ideas, thoughts, life experiences, imagination. I love it all. Move me, I say. When I come across a line or paragraph in a book that says something important in a beautifully written way, it makes that book special for me. Most books I read and enjoy, then donate to the library book sale or to a friend. But those special books with the mindblower lines or paragraphs are the ones that sit on my bookshelves.

Noticed you liked The Glass Castle, 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). Let me know if you're interested. Here's a link to a summary in case you're interested:
