"When I get a little money I buy books; and if any is left I buy food and clothes." ~ Erasmus
At 29 years old, I currently work full time in the communications industry to finance my love for books. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Mass Communication and minored in Theatre with an emphasis on French. I now have a not-so-secret dream to be a published novelist. I am currently writing my first novel and reading as many writing-help books as possible as I begin my quest as an artist. Meanwhile, I also have a love affair with fiction.

As a voracious reader, I keep track of the number of books, authors, titles and pages I've read this year because I like to look back at what I've read over the course of the year and it's a great way of letting others see what I've most recently digested.

I accept friendship requests from courteous Shelfarians who share my love of books. I am quite choosy about groups as my online time is a limited commodity and I am already struggling to keep up with my groups.
