About meI'm 28 years old and currently between jobs and/or going back to school.

I had brain surgery in March 2008, which was a good thing, as it started to fix the medical problems that had crippled me physically, socially, and mentally for the last six years. I'm still recuperating but I'm starting to get my life back on track.

About my libraryI have pretty diverse reading tastes. I read a lot of romances (gay and straight), kids' and YA lit, mysteries/thrillers, and fantasy. I also like history & historical fiction, biology and/or medical nonfiction, true crime, and the occasional memoir. Pretty much whatever strikes my fancy!

I'm in the process of reorganizing, combining (from my other account, marcia_g) and cataloging using collections, so bear with me!
