I am an admitted biblioholic. I very rarely leave home without a book. When I do forget to take one with me I feel as awkward as if I've forgotten to wear pants. I love everything about books and have a serious (sometimes sick) obsession with library booksales. I am very active on BookCrossing (www.bookcrossing.com) and have acquired and shared many books this way. My current TBR (To Be Read) pile occupies nearly an entire room.
I enjoy almost all genres, but my favorites are chick lit, mystery & historical fiction. I also try to read a lot of classic literature. Some of my favorite authors are Sophie Kinsella, Janet Evanovich, Sue Grafton, Ernest Hemingway, Paulo Coehlo, Philippa Gregory, Mary Higgins Clark, Truman Capote, Shanna Swendson and many, many more.
Besides reading, I enjoy many other activities. I like shopping, exercising, running, traveling, cooking & baking, horseback riding, tennis, riding our wave runners and watching classic movies. I am a huge Audrey Hepburn fan. I am just as addicted to coffee as I am to books and enjoy visiting local coffee shops for a cappuccino or a latte. Recently I've become especially interested in fair trade and organic products. I'm a proud member of Weight Watchers and have successfully adopted a more healthy lifestyle since joining. Much of my time lately has been devoted to planning my March 2008 wedding.
I'm using Shelfari as a way to track books I've read. Most of those I have listed are books I've read since 2005. Some of them are books read at other times during my life, but that were particularly memorable. I'm hoping to make lots of bookish friends and share my passion for reading and books with others.
