I'm a lifelong reader. I remember as a kid, going to the Golden Gate branch of the San Francisco Library once a week, getting 6 books, and walking home with them. I loved anything about animals, and as I got older, books about growing up and making life decisions.

  • In Her Shoes MovieTie-in: A Novel
    • Rated 5 stars

    The story of two sisters, Rose, the responsible one and Maggie, the irresponsible one who takes advantage of everybody and who feels the world owes her a living. Their mother died when the girls were young and Rose has taken care of Maggie ever since, because their grieving father was incapable of giving the girls the emotional security they needed and his wife, the evil Sydelle hated them. Now adults, Maggie is still sponging on Rose, who is still resenting it, but letting her. A catastrophic event causes a breakup that sets both women on new life paths and brings about their ultimate reconciliation. This is a great read, a page turner, and a tearjerker. Highly recommended!

  • Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
    • Rated 4 stars

    I had to read this book immediately, not because I am some sort of a Potter nut who would line up at a book store at midnight to buy it (mine came via Amazon), but because I hate having surprises spoiled for me and I knew I had to finish the book before I turned on the television or looked at anything on the Internet. I just didn't want to know what happened. I was sitting at the train station at midnight last night, waiting for Walt's train to arrive, and people were coming back from the bookstore with their books in hand, reading the final chapter. Not me! Tho I was tempted, I persevered and read the thing straight through from front to back without peeking.
