About meI'm a middle-aged wife, mother, and grandmother who looks nothing like this profile picture. I am moderate in views and tastes. Reading for entertainment and relaxation, I prefer history, historical fiction and classic literature and try to avoid the brutally violent, overly depressing and bosom-heaving erotic books - they interfere with my little Pollyanna, Disney-esque world.

LOVE your 'About me'! Except for the grandmother part, it sounds exactly like me. And I'm apparently somewhat close to your neck of the woods, even.
I like to check the 'my reviews' page now and again, to read the new reviews by other members of books that are also in my library. I figure, if we share a taste in books, I may find some 'new' books that I would enjoy reading. Well, that was true today! Your review for All Other Nights was one of the new reviews that showed up in the right column of 'my reviews' page. Enjoying that review, I followed the link to see your other reviews. And whilst reading your other reviews, I found several books that just had to be wishlisted.
Review surfing is one of my favorite LT pastimes! I love reading good reviews. Yours are just the right length to give a flavor of the story and your opinion of it. I enjoyed them very much.
It was nice to 'meet' you!
