A few facts about me:

I teach 9th grade English and 7th grade grammar at a rural school in Pennsylvania.
I enjoy teaching very much, although my true love for reading is what led me to the occupation.
I am 29 and married with three children - ages 9yrs, 7yrs, 3 1/2yrs.
I finished my graduate degree this summer with straight A's - 4.0 GPA! So EXCITED!
My family is also very involved in our church.
ALL of my spare time,as well as time that should be spent doing something else,is spent reading. I usually put off things that need to be done so I can read. The only thing that is never done at the last minute around my house is reading.

I'm using these shelves to record every book I've read - almost all of them were on my physical bookshelf at one time or another. I tend to read in stages - the romance novel stage, the Danielle Steel stage, memoir stage, plays....

I only have one of four of my bookshelves listed under ownership on this site...it would take so long to list the books I actually own.

But, I love to see if other people are reading the same stuff I am - and I like to see what they think. So please take a look and let me know.

And, if you couldn't tell, I love to talk about books! « less
