I'm a stay-at-home mom of two beautiful kids. Reading is a passion for me and I do it every chance I get.

I also love to scrapbook and have started my own scrapbooking business. I've done my first craft show and had a ball, so I'm looking forward to doing more of them. Since I work from my kitchen, I have plenty of time to keep reading!

I keep a book journal of what I read, but shelfari has really helped me organize my books. I am a big library patron, so most of the books on my shelf were borrowed from my local library. I also volunteer there by hosting a book discussion group.

One of my favorite things is my tin of book darts - they're a must-have for me when I read because I love to dart an amazing sentence/quote and copy it into my journal.

If there is a rating for a book on my shelf, this will give you an idea of how I felt about the book:

5 stars - I loved it, have probably talked about it incessantly, forced it on my friends, it's made me think, I have learned something and I would highly recommend it
4 stars - I thought it was a great book, I have likely thought about it a lot and would recommend it
3 stars - I liked it and might tell someone about it, but wouldn't read it again
If I strongly disliked a book I've read, it isn't even on my shelf.

"Some books are to be tasted,
others swallowed, and some
to be chewed and digested."
