About meWhen I was younger I was an avid reader. In the past 15 years I have gone back and forth between times of reading fervently and times of barely reading at all.

I'm also interested in postcards and postcard collecting, family photo albums, online communities, and writing.

I live in New Jersey with my husband and our four cats (pictured is Raven, who enjoys laying across my wrists as I try to type and update my books online).

About my libraryI started out with BookCrossing in August 2005, and "discovered" Library Thing in March 2007.

I am also tracking books here that I have read but no longer have, or may have never been mine to begin with (@borrowed). Each book in my possession should have the tag @have. It's also possible that I know I read a book but am not sure if I still have it - tagged @unknown! Books in my possession which aren't read yet have a tbr tag. I don't keep wishlist books here, but do maintain a wishlist on bookcrossing.

My rating system:

Five stars - I love, love, love this book. I would read it again and again. It haunts me long after I've finished it. I'm possibly in love with one or more of the characters. It's a piece of magic to me, and am ever grateful to the author for having shared something that touched me this much. Really high chance this is in my Permanent collection.

Four stars - I really, really liked this book. It's likely I would read it a second time. It stays with me. Fair chance it's in my permanent collection.

Three and a half - better than average. I probably wouldn't (but might) read it again. I definitely would seek out others from the same author and would recommend this one. Might hold onto it, just in case.

Three stars - Decent read, Enjoyed the time spent reading it. Would recommend it to anyone looking for something to read. Not necessarily particularly memorable to me, but I don't mind.

Two stars - Well. I'm not mad that I spent the time to read it. It was... interesting? (maybe?). I wouldn't necessarily recommend it. Unlikely that I'll ever read it again. It was probably decently written, just not really my cup of tea.

One star - I wish I'd spent the time reading something else. Eh.

Half star - I couldn't finish it. Why am I not writing more?
