About meI live and breathe books and have for as long as I can remember. I am currently an elementary school librarian and I finished an MLIS degree last year. I finally decided to quit fighting it and go ahead and become a librarian. I love to shop garage/estate sales, thrift stores, used book stores, and especially library book sales, although I have been known to spend too much at Barnes and Noble and other such book stores. I've also recently began to buy online from abebooks and other such sites, finding those copies that I really want for my library but can't otherwise find. I am also developing an appreciation of all the great Young Adult literature that is currently available, having missed out on this body of work during the last 20 or so years spent reading adult fiction.

About my libraryMy library is constantly changing. I recently and (now) regretably had to get rid of about a quarter of my books due to space constraints. I have shelves in every available nook and I still have books piled everywhere. As far as content, my main interests are royalty, aristocracy, prominent American families, European history; and at the other end, history of the American south and southwest, especially including the states of Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Hawaii, Native American history and culture, women's history, genealogy, architecture, American folklore and natural living; pioneer life; classic American short stories; anything by or about Mark Twain (my distant relative). I have lots of weird, interesting, and unique works in my library.
