Well i do love to read and organizing is probably a close second so this makes this site pretty neat. I am also a member of paperbackswap (banananpancakes) where i get pretty much all the books i read these days. I am participating in the A-Z author challenge, and am still looking for authors that start with X and Y.
If anyone has recommendations for me, I would love them.
As far as books, I tend to steer away from "chick lit"
I love memoirs, and coming-of-age stories
I love the themes of magical realism by Allende and Marquez
I am trying to read all the Pulitzer Prize fiction novels
I have a Siberian Husky and am always looking for books on them.
My favorite authors are Isabel Allende, Jane Austen, Philippa Gregory, John Steinbeck, and Ursula Hegi. I love a book that makes me think.
The books on my shelf are books I have read, books TBR, and those i have had or own right now.
Music I enjoy includes Maria Taylor, Coldplay, KT Tunstall, Ben Harper, Kate Peterson, Bishop Allen, Snow Patrol, Ingrid Michaelson, The Finches, Belle & Sebastian, Pete Yorn, Regina Spektor, Paul Simon, Beth Orton, Benjamin Gibbard, Feist, Counting Crows, Band of Horses, Keane, , Casey Dienel, Kathryn Williams, Jenny Lewis, Guster
Tv shows include: Heroes, Grey's Anatomy, Freaks & Geeks, Undeclared, Dawson's Creek
