About My Library: I love mysteries! My favorites are historical, Golden Age, and English police books. I love funny mysteries, but anything too cute or full of quirky characters turns me off.

I also enjoy non-fiction books, although I get most of these from the library. I like science, cookbooks, history, and nature writing.

I'm a big Brandon Sanderson fan, but I love lots of different fantasy books. I'm also into science fiction. I'm a big fan of several fantasy writers and I'm always looking for another good series.
And I still read picture books!

Hope that tells you something about me. I'm a fast reader, but I love to reread my books. So I keep all my favorites. Any books I wasn't completely in love with will wind up being donated. So my ratings are skewed, since I only keep the books I loved. You can also find me on Good Reads and The Storygraph.
About Me: I'm a busy mom who reads as a form of therapy. I have adult children at home and 2 cats. I met my husband at university. We've been married for 32 years.
I learned to read when I was in a car accident as a 4 year old. I was stuck in a body cast with nothing to do. So I watched Sesame Street, and somehow, those letters all turned in to words. I've had a book on hand ever since. (usually more than one!)

Besides reading, I like to watch mysteries on TV, as well as cooking shows, Nature, and science shows. I also like to craft and listen to music. I'm also a gamer. I am disabled so I have more time for reading.

So Hello already!
