About meI love reading and I love blogging. Visit my site for reviews on books I have read and reading challenges I am in, as well as to find links to other wonderful book bloggers.
Other interests include writing, journaling, swimming, yoga, and watching movies.
About my libraryI have an eclectic taste in books, but my favorite books right now deal with different cultures. I also like poetry, self-improvement texts, the classics, mysteries, and spiritual texts.
I would like to add more books to my library, but not sure about the "upgrade" to a paid account.

From blossoms comes
this brown paper bag of peaches
we bought from the boy
at the bend in the road where we turned toward
signs painted Peaches.
From laden boughs, from hands,
from sweet fellowship in the bins,
comes nectar at the roadside, succulent
peaches we devour, dusty skin and all,
comes the familiar dust of summer, dust we eat.
O, to take what we love inside,
to carry within us an orchard, to eat
not only the skin, but the shade,
not only the sugar, but the days, to hold
the fruit in our hands, adore it, then bite into
the round jubilance of peach.
There are days we live
as if death were nowhere
in the background; from joy
to joy to joy, from wing to wing,
from blossom to blossom to
impossible blossom, to sweet impossible blossom.
- Li-Young Lee
