About me I'm a collector and writer in Phoenix. I have no idea how many years I've been hoarding books, but at last count (2 years ago) I had over 800 books. I'm an Anglophile and about a third of my books are Bristish novels. I also love Agatha Christie.
In non-fiction, I have a collection of books on pirates, shipwrecks, the sea and world travel. In art, I lean towards surrealism, pop art and the Renaissance, especially Botticelli and Albrecht Durer.
About my library I'm a make-up artist by profession, but I have also been the editor of an on-line literary site, a late-night deejay and ran a dessert business. I am working on an Arts degree and spend time cooking and heading to Vegas! I also read a whole lotta magazines- Lucky, Bon Appetit, Gourmet, Travel and Leisure, Budget Travel, National Geographic Traveler, Mental Floss, Marie Claire and the occasional New Yorker.

I came upon your Black Magic Cake recipe & can't wait to try it-sounds scrumptious! Cheers! Judie

Nice to get your note this evening and glad you're on board here with LT. I just looked through your listed books and saw a few others we share (wonder why Ethan Frome, for instance, isn't in our "books you share" list). I really enjoyed that novel. Like you, I'm also quite keen on English literature and love theatre as well. Just saw two Pinter plays in fact (the Lover and Ashes to Ashes - both very well staged here locally in Cambridge MA).
Interesting to see you 've read "The Loved One". What a great story! Did you ever see the movie? It has quite a cast of stars. Jonathan Winter and others...So funny.
I see from your profile that you like books about seafaring. Have you read "The Voyage of the Narwal" or "Ships Fever" both by Andrea Barrett? I really enjoy her writing and the way she interweaves so much about science into her stories.
Ok What else.....I too like cooking magazines. I used to prefer Gourmet to BonApp, but now I prefer the latter to the former. I enjoy cooking and have put a couple of my favorite cookbooks up on my library list. I tend to use the same ones over and over again (for instance the Bittman and Hazan).
I will look forward to reading more of your reviews and checking out your library as you add to it.
