I live in the Appalachian mountains, but have lived in a large city and many smaller Midwest towns. Thought I was a city girl but discovered I love small-town charm. I am an avid, professional quilter, counted cross stitcher, reader, writer, semi-retired ordained minister (Rev. Dr.), semi-retired grief therapist, and bird lover. I have two cats, a min-pin/jack russell mix and a beagle, who all live in the house and compete for attention from my husband and me. I have two book groups on yahoo, and love to discuss books. I have my own business at www.BooksandStitches.com
I have multiple chronic illnesses, such as diabetes, fibromyalgia, arthritis,lymphedema and sarcoidosis and have become nearly home-bound. This is NOT how I've lived most of my life, and found the adjustment to be quite difficult. However, it is what brought reading (fiction, that is) back into my life.
The interesting thing about a bookshelf is that the books are there for a reason. On my bookshelf here, there are books that I have given away or traded (like in paperbackswap) or kept , but the books on my shelf have become a little story of who I am, what I'm learning, and what I want to learn more about.. I love really good fiction, so you will see a lot of contemporary, historical and literary fiction here.
My bookshelf Books I own or have read and no longer own. Some are books that I own and plan to read
My Reading List Books I have read so far this year
My Wishlist Books I want to read (and possibly own)
Top 10 I have waaaay more than 10 "best" books, so this list will be rather fluid and changing. It is my favorites list.
