Hello! I'm an avid reader and oh, so addicted to purchasing books...most of which I have yet to read...

I mostly read historical fiction, general literature, cozy mysteries, and nonfiction of all kinds. I also dig a true guilty pleasure - chick lit - now and then and the very occassional best-seller.

    Welcome to the group based on the book 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die.
    There is a general explanation of the group under the discussion thread GROUP GUIDELINES.
    The books of the month (BOTM) that the group is reading are pinned to the top. May BOTM are;
    1. Choke by Palahniuk, Chuck
    2. Dr. Zhivago by Boris Pasternak
    3. Titus Groan by Mervyn Peake
    4. Works of Poe
    We are also starting something new. It will be a Long Read consisting of books from the list that are greater than a 1000 pages. The group will be starting with War and Peace by Tolstoy.
    Hope you can join in one or all the discussions.

    I just finished The Inner Circle. I'm going to take a break from Boyle for awhile. Thinking of your large collection gives me extreme book envy, especially since I don't have a book right now.

    Goodness, you are just down the street from me, I live in Temple, but will be moving to Irving soon. What are you reading now? I am reading A Year In The Life Of William Shakespeare and Hamlet.

    And, by the way, you weren't always in Hillsboro were you? You probably don't remember, but I went to Baylor for several years. I looove the Hillsboro outlet mall. Give me cheap goodies any day.

    Heyyyyy!!!! I didn't realize that was you when I added you to my list, but of course I remember you!

    I still have grrrrlgroup, but I forgot the administrator password so long ago that I can't delete it! Everyone sort of fell off the discussion wagon a few years ago. I've been working on my MA for a couple of years so time has been short.

    It's great to see you again!
