About My Library: Most of the books I read I borrow from the library (or netlibrary for audiobooks). Or pick up from book shares. That is why the majority of my books are in the 'read but unowned' category. My 'to be read' list contains books I'm interested in reading. And 'my library' are books that I own (although I own many more books, most are from my husband's schooling...PhD in history leaves you with lots of books, most of which I have no interest in reading).

My rating works like this:

1-2 stars I did not like and probably did not finish
3 stars I liked o.k., but may not continue with the author and/or series.
4 stars I really liked and will continue with the author and/or series.
5 stars I loved and would like to own and read over and over again.

I have eclectic tastes and like just about anything that keeps my interest. In my library you will find mostly fiction (although I don't mind nonfiction, I just need recommendations) ranging from adventure, romance, fantasy, mystery, to horror.

I appreciate any recommendations. Feel free to add me as a friend if you like my library.
About Me: I Love to read. You can find my reading journal here

My other hobbies include swimming, cooking, baking, and knitting.
