About My Library: I rarely buy books for myself anymore - I've found that if I own them, they sit on my shelf. I do better with a little pressure from the public library. Now I mainly buy books for my young daughters. My library as listed here is composed of books I have read (and sometimes own) and books I want to read (tagged TBR).
About Me: I am a 5th grade teacher. My husband is a professional book reviewer, and I try not to get too jealous that he gets paid to read. :-) We have two daughters - 8 and 6 years old. I usually read books based on recommendations from NPR, my family (especially my mother), my students, and of course LibraryThing members!

I am also the author of Mrs. Allen’s 5th Grade Files
