I write the book-review column "The Book Trolley" for the Harry Potter fan site MuggleNet-dot-com. I am also a musician, a struggling writer, and an ordained minister. I don't watch TV, but I make up for it in couch-potatitude by blogging, listening to music, and reading lots of books!

PS - I've been asked why I seem so generous in awarding stars. So here is what I mean by my scoring system. * = This book is so bad that it makes me angry. ** = I kind of regret wasting my time on it. *** = I mostly liked it, but with some serious reservations. **** = It's not great, but I enjoyed it. ***** = I liked everything about this book. And because I'm easy to please, I add a "favorite" heart if I consider it one of the best books I've read all year. Bottom line: I'm a book cheerleader. My reviews are recommendations. I want to encourage everyone to share my reading pleasure! « less
