About meI love books! I love books! Poetry, literature, nature and gardening, spirituality, memoir, lyrical prose of any kind. One of my "vices" is running a book sale each year just to fondle all the books....
Because of my work as a health educator (working mostly in mental health areas), I read memoirs to help me understand the the personal, lived experience of these conditions. Isn't it great when one gets to read for work and pleasure simultaneously?!
Also, check out Bookins - a great book swap web-site. It is easy to use, and just as addictive as LibraryThing.com! www.bookins.com
And, another great place to find quality, new books (remainders) is daedalus books, found at www.salebooks.com.
About my libraryBecause of Bookins (see above) it's ever-changing. I list books I have read and/or owned. TBR = to be read (and, alas, there are too many of these!)
I attended the NY Antiquarian Book Fair (2008) on a whim, and now I am hooked! I am busy tagging all of my first editions, and starting to think about how I might shape and store my collection of favorite authors, poets, volumes. I didn't think I could get more book-addicted, but I am seeing a new level here! Yikes!

I read all of your reviews and now I want to read all of your 4 to 5 star books. I had completely forgotten Snow Flower and the Secret Fan! I loved the book!!! There are so many books that I've read over time that I don't have on my list! I loved Water for Elephants and Secret Life of Bees too! I don't think you rated Bees... You read Three Cups of Tea but didn't rate it?? I really liked that book too!
I just received 5 books (which I bought used from Amazon) and don't know what to read first..I wish I had more time!
I enjoyed reading your profile page!
This is such fun!!!
Thanks for the message!
Louise
ps your reviews are beautiful!

I perused your author cloud, nice to see Annie Dillard in bold...I just discovered her a few years back when I read Total Eclipse - it took my breath away. Mary Oliver is another favorite of mine. Your library is inspiring!

It's really fun to find other people who share similar interests! What I find so fascinating about this website, are the books I don't have in common with other people! I think it will definitely help me broaden my horizons.

Thanks for joining the UU Readers group! I'm curious as to how successful your annual booksale fundraiser is? We've been doing a "Time and Talent" auction for a few years, and it's a lot of work for not so much money. Maybe a book sale / exchange would be better...
Best,
