About meI like to read...obviously! :-) I almost always have a "book challenge" going though usually of my own personal creation. I moved to Ohio in 2006 from Phoenix, AZ and I'm very happy to have seasons again! I am divorced with 2 kids (Girl, 9; Boy 7) and my other "passions" include cooking, candle making and short day hikes along with "b" movies and interesting conversations. :-)

I read quite a lot...so in the interest of at least keeping those few people who might actually be interested, informed...I have a LJ (same user name) where I keep a list and more or less chronicle what I read and when. I'll try to come in here and update regularly. I am currently reading (or will soon be reading):

***********

Also, I read all the books my children choose from the library, which keeps me quite busy!

About my libraryI read children's books (fantasy and horror mostly), Young Adult Fiction, Adult Fiction and Non-Fiction. In adult ficion, I prefer horror, mystery, mythology, and folklore. In non-fiction, whatever strikes my fancy! :-)

This library includes books I own and books I've borrowed from friends, family and the public library. It's more of a catelogue of what I've READ than what I OWN. :-)
