About meI was one of those children who used to read under the covers with a flashlight. My favorites then were "The Five Little Peppers and How They Grew", "Little Women", and "Heidi". And of course, the Nancy Drew series. I always loved books. I especially loved the smell of library books. Living in a small, isolated desert town, books were my connection to the outside world. I used to dream about being able to step into the pages and enter their world. Books are still an important part of my life. There is nothing more exciting than opening the pages of a new book, entering into a different world, and living in it for a time. And it's usually a downer after I finish one until I start the next. My favorite book is usually the one I am reading at the time. I like to vary my reading and include non-fiction also. I enjoy this site and the opportunity it gives me to catalog the books I have and the books I have read, and to see what other people are reading.
In the past, I thought it was a waste of time to reread a book with so many more out there, but have found that it's interesting to reread certain books because my perspective has changed over time. So many books, so little time.
My other hobbies are genealogy, gardening, hiking and quilting, astronomy, birding, rockhounding, travel and photography.
I love animals and currently have three lovable dogs, two demanding cats, and two jabbering parakeets.
I am 66 years old, retired from the airlines and am a CASA volunteer. Am thinking about returning to college but still can't decide what I want to be when I grow up.
About my libraryMy library is rather large and since I have moved, I still have 44 boxes of unpacked books out in the garage. Have tried to part with a few, about four so far.

I saw you had read "Bonds that Make Us Free" and was wondering if you would be willing to help us with a project we are doing.
Stories are a powerful part of Arbinger. Often, in reading the story of another, we are able to identify ourselves. Although the details vary, the emotions and the symptoms are sometimes painfully, sometimes joyfully, similar. And, it is often through the honest evaluation of our own stories that we are able to grow and develop in unexpected ways.
Arbinger, now a world-wide organization, seeks to harness this catalyst for change that we find in the sharing of stories. We are in the process of creating an online and interactive story bank. Here, you will be able to read the stories written by others who share your desire to improve their lives and their relationships. If you would be willing to share your story, we welcome your contribution. With your permission, your story may be used in other projects we are doing as well. Please email it to me at kwilstead@arbinger.com. Thank you!
If you would like me to send you some examples of stories that have already been submitted, send me a request at kwilstead@arbinger.com.
Thank you, again!

So using Woodswoman helps me encourage that part of myself, and who knows??? Maybe I'll simplify my life at some point!
My office college young woman is entering the books in my library, so I don't often get onto the site, thus the delay between comments, but don't give up! Maybe at some point I'll have the luxury of browsing through others' book lists and tagging some "interesting libraries" as well.
Take care.

He's responsible for about 1000 of the books in my library, and I'll be ever grateful.
I'm not sure what the "interesting library" stuff means, but thanks again.

P.S. I've opened another database for the books I'm culling from my Colorado library, sending some to my house in Vermont and giving others to a friend who is living in Zambia and can't get enough books for her reading addiction.
That library (while it doesn't have any books in it as yet) will be loaded to a user name: artword so if you want to check it out in a couple of weeks, you'll see what is waiting to be given away.
