About meI'm a stay at home wife and mother of two. I've been homeschooling both of my children for the past nine years, and most days I really love it. The older I get, the less inclined I feel to apologize for my weirdness. I've learned to embrace my inner geek.

I adore all things Doctor Who. I don't watch much tv, but when I do, it's generally something on BBC America. I enjoy sewing and quilting, and I'm trying to teach myself to knit. Mostly, though, I love to read. Anything and everything.

About my libraryI don't know that I have a favorite genre. I do love YA and children's literature, and I've got lots of it in my library. I also enjoy science fiction and fantasy books, but I wouldn't turn my nose up at a good chick lit title. I'll pretty much read anything you put in front of me. 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.

I've tried to keep up with my ever-growing library, but I seem to acquire them faster than I can add them here. So, it's incomplete, but it's a fair representation of what I enjoy reading. If you have similar tastes, I'd love any recommendations you may have.
