About My Library
I have a library room that occupies one part of my house. There are books in every room of my home as well. I read cozy mysteries, classic mysteries, assorted fiction and "brain candy", historical mysteries, "books about books", pop psychology, culture, memoirs, and travel narratives. I enjoy reading print materials as well as e-books. (I like being able to carry all those e-books with me whenever I go anywhere.)
About Me

I am retired from full time work and recently retired from part time teaching online college classes in Leadership Theory and the sciences for several universities. Now I spend a lot of time as library chair person/assistant cataloger for the small private library in our retirement community. I also write book reviews. I hold a Bachelors and two Masters degrees from Indiana University, and a Ph.D. from Andrews University in Michigan. I have two crazy cats, and used to play the clarinet in a community band. My husband and I love to travel and have been occasionally spotted on cruise ships.
