About meI'm a 40-something married woman with a Bachelor's degree in History. I worked in Corrections for over eight years and now work for the County of Shasta as a Board Clerk. (If you're a fellow history major, you shouldn't be surprised). We have three cats.
I've been an off-and-on member of the SCA for many years, known therein as Athenais Bryennissa, a sometime herald.
About my libraryThe library consists of probably 95% my books; although the husband does have a fair number of his own, he's neither a voracious reader nor obssessive buyer of books in the same way that I am. He hoards his toys the way that I hoard my books, and what's represented here so far is only a fraction of the total. Sadly, a large portion of our novels were lost some years ago in a move, but we seem to have the majority of our hardbacks, gaming books, and of course all of my textbooks and heraldry books.
