About my libraryYes, definitely a book fiend! Loads of books. Too many to count. A dizzying amount. I don't even have them all listed here.

It's hard to write reviews on books that don't cut it. I give it the first chapter test. If it doesn't hook me in then its done, kaput. Sometimes..I go back to them. Which, by the way, happens quite a bit. I find that the "keepers" in my library I hold near and dear. I re-read, re-discover, re-visit them.

In actuality, about 3 books in 30 are keepers. There has to be something significant about them-a great character, a plotline I think is distinctive, a new realm discovered, a wholly new voice that speaks to me. In a world of literary copycats, finding that one true voice can be the best scavenger hunt of all. The book doesn't have to be stellar through and through, just singular.
