About meI'm a wife and mother of two. I've been homeschooling both of them for the past five years, and most days I really love it. I'm also a professional quilter, and I've co-authored two quilting books, 100 Good Wishes and Greetings from Brazil. I feel slightly guilty about giving my books 5 stars. But, then, if I can't give my books 5 stars, who would?? My publisher distributes to quilt shops only, so you won't find me on Amazon, but you can find me at various online quilt shops, including www.quiltsandfixins.org.

About my libraryI don't know that I have a favorite genre per se. I do love children's literature, and I've got lots of it in my library. A few of the books in my library are my husband's or my kids' books, but they're ones that I would read or have read. I don't hand out five stars lightly, so if it's been given 5 stars, then I've made a really personal connection with the book or it just blew me away.
If it's in my library, I've either read it or I own it and intend to read it (tagged TBR). If I've read it, it'll have a star rating. I don't have wishlist books on here, but there are those that I've read but no longer have for one reason or another.
