About meHi. Firstly, I am a voracious reader. I am using this site to keep track of my books, and it helps... A LOT. Ha ha.

I am also a writer. I was published in the poetry anthology titled "Death In Common," edited by Rich Ristow (now available in its THIRD edition from Needfire Poetry...previously available from Bandersnatch Books and Daverana Enterprises). It is available on Amazon here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0986483176?ie=UTF8&tag=boembo-20&linkCo...

About my libraryI have a ton of children's books for my kids and I have a ton of horror fiction for me. If you look through them, it is pretty obvious who I like and who my kids like (like Mercer Mayer... he has his own bookshelf).

I always prefer hardcovers. For the kids, I trust my kids more with hardcovers. For myself, I just like the way they feel. Of course, some stuff is ultra expensive in hardcover. So, I have to make do with paperbacks in those situations.

I recently started a Blog about books (mostly children's books) called "Book 'em Bob!" I also have Blogs in a couple of other places.

Books RULE!
