About me I'm the fourth of six children, most of whom are/were big readers. I grew up in a house surrounded by books and was always allowed to read whatever I pleased at any age. This has lead me to my having rather eclectic reading tastes. When I'm not reading, I'm an inveterate bookcrosser, working as a legal assistant for a San Diego law firm, going to the theater, traveling, or wandering the beautiful County of San Diego.

About my library Since nearly my entire library is on bookcrossing, I don't feel the need to use that feature here. Instead, I use LT for books I am reading or have read since joining LT. Any book finished will contain at least a small review of my thoughts on the book. I don't generally write expansive reviews both because of lack of time and I fear spoiling the plot for others.

hi there

Tell me about Reading Diary
by Alberto Manguel
It looks interesting, but I noticed that you were not a fan.
Thanks for your thoughtful review. I'm an ESL tutor so I'm drawn to books (both fiction and nonfiction) about immigration and assimilation issues. I've put that one of my wishlist.

Thanks again

Beth
Thank you for joining San Diego Bibliophiles!

:)
Thanks for the encouragement with Lolita. What's so distressing for me is I have three daughters, agaes 9, 13, and 15, and it is very hard for me to be objective with it given the subject matter. I might have to wait until they're gone to their dad's before reading it. (PS: my youngest daughter is named "Maggie", and your name always catches my eye.)
Hi, Whymaggiemay

Just thought I'd say I found your posts on the book Infidel very interesting and well thought out. Looking forward to hearing about some other books that you're reading.
