About meI'm an eclectic mix (but aren't we all?)...reader, singer, storyteller and puppeteer, gardener and cook, along with other things I can't think of at the moment.

I read for at least an hour a day; I walk to work and read as I am walking....a useful skill! Haven't hit any telephone poles yet. I now volunteer at the Victoria Times Colonist used booksale in support of literacy.

My profile picture is a painting by my father, done in June of 1977. I am reading Mary Stewart's "Touch Not the Cat"...I found the original photograph recently.

About my libraryMy library is constantly being added to and also purged. I've kept roughly 2000 books for most of my life, although I've done another recent cleanout and now have less than that. I am currently updating my list to show my actual bookcovers.

I love mysteries, fantasies, historical fiction, but my favourites are books I loved as a child.
