About meMy mom (mrssnapdragon) and I are both big on history. Even though we both have our favorite topics, we love talking to each other about our books! If I want to get a rise out of her, I just tell her how terrible King Richard III was! Oh does she get mad then, hehe.
I love reading about British history, WWI and WWII, particularly France and Germany during the war years. I also have a great passion for historical romance novels (and some contemporary romance novels)! "Wuthering Heights" is my ultimate favorite book of all time!

About my libraryThe books in my library are mostly just the ones that I can think of thus far. I think I will keep it this way and just begin adding from what I read from now on. Thanks to my sister I am an avid reader of romance novels. After many years of refusing to read anything, especially romance, I finally accepted her entreaties when she placed Julie Garwood's "The Lion's Lady" on my lap. Since then I could not put them down. From reading historical romance novels (our favorite) I eventually became a lover of history and so I am also building a library with non-fiction history books. She and I have a shared collection of romance novels. I also collect old and new copies of "Wuthering Heights" my oldest copy dating back to the 1870's or earlier.
