About My Library

This catalog includes both my books and my husband's, which explains the science/humanities mix. As much as I'd like to claim polymath status, those physics books nearly got tagged under 'magic', since that's my general assessment of their contents (For example, here's an actual snippet of conversation between my husband and me: "How do you think magnets work?" My answer: "Magic?").

About Me

I'm a one time Classics Professor turned Stay-at-Home Mom/Lady of Leisure turned librarian. I have a great love for books, naturally, and also lists. Lists of books are right up there for me (I have more than a few books that are lists of books, and I have a feeling that I'm not alone in this here). I have to admit that I'm a bit shy about becoming 'public.' I'm nervous about others looking at my books - is that weird? Anyway, I also love sewing and knitting, watching bad B-horror films, and I quite enjoy teaching as well. However, I'm not fond of talking about myself, so I'll just end this here.

What I'm Reading Now:

-He's So Possessed with Me (Stonewall Honor Book)
-Vagabond 9 (manga)
-20th Century Boys 2 (manga)
-Magpie Murders (mystery)
-The Duke Who Didn't (romance)
-The Poetry of Petrarch (poetry)
-House of Earth and Blood (audiobook)
-Quicksilver (Read Soon! shelf)
-The Shadow of the Wind (unread books from my shelves)
-Flash Fire (Favorite Author Bibliographies)
-Remnant Population (wishlist book)
-Eugene Onegin (Book-A-Year challenge)
-A Passage to India (Book Riot Book Lists)
-The Big Sky (NEH Timeless Classics list)
-A Good Day to Pie (series)
