About meI am a Book Ministry Leader, meaning I am passionate about helping others grow through reading GREAT books! My passion is books, but I also love to write, scrapbook, learn about Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphs, and to play piano “by ear". I hope to someday speak, read, and write Spanish fluently even though I'm just learning right now! :-P

For the past five years, my average number of books read per year is around 55, although, the last couple of years have seen that number decline a bit (life's too crazy!). I belong to several online book discussion groups, and I spend a good deal of time searching for even more books to read. My personal library has grown tremendously thanks to library sales, goodwill shops, and yard sales, as well as Freecycle.org!

I'm also a Book Reviewer for FIRST Alliances Blog Tours...And, of course, LibraryThing.com's "Early Reviewers".

My favorite genre is mystery/suspense. I love Christian fiction, and really enjoy reading Christian "emergent" nonfiction (ie: “A Scandalous Freedom" by Steve Brown, “The Barbarian Way" by Erwin Raphael McManus, “Velvet Elvis" by Rob Bell). Other books I enjoy are ones set in the time periods of Regency England or Ancient Egypt. Favorite authors include Christian Jacq, Susan May Warren, Gaelen Foley, Sandra Brown, Karen Kingsbury, and Lisa Wingate.

Thanks for visiting my bookshelf!

About my libraryI've had my library catalogued in a database for the past 4 years, and I think that it's great to be able to show everyone my collection! I currently own over 1100 books!

I'm a sucker for a good cover, therefore a lot of the books on my virtual shelf, here, are chosen for their covers...not necessarily because that's the edition I have.

My favorite genres are mystery/suspense, Christian fiction, health/fitness, and memoirs. I love Ancient Egypt, and Regency England. I also love arty things ... music, drawing, architecture... so my shelf is peppered with these sorts of books.

I collect Classics, but haven't read many of them. I hope to someday. :? People tell me that the older you get, the more you enjoy them, so maybe I've got a few years...?
