About meBorn and raised near Boulder, Colorado I left at 17 to study in Chicago. Teenagers are strange, what can I say? Fell in love with many things and never left Chicagoland.

About my libraryI trade WAY too much on BookMooch and my TBR shelf has blossomed into two full Target folding bookshelves. I will read just about anything, but ever since Less Than Zero, if a book makes me feel like pitching it across the room more than once, I quit reading and put it in the mooch pile. Life is too short to regret finishing a book.
