About meI live in Omaha, NE with my husband and four lovely cats. Although I majored in English in college, my day job sadly does not involve books. I have been book-obsessed ever since I can remember, and my secret dream was to be a librarian. I have been keeping a list of all the books I read since 1990, and have them all in a spreadsheet!

I also love to sing, and am involved in a couple of choirs that cut into my reading time but are well worth it.

About my libraryI only catalog books that I actually own. My rule of thumb is that I keep a book in my library if I expect that I will want to read it again. So, for the most part, my library is made up of books I have read and liked or have not read yet. The TBR pile is a constant struggle, but I figure that once I run out of books I am waiting to read, I may as well shuffle off this mortal coil.
