I LOVE to read! I also enjoy traveling, scuba diving, cycling, hiking, skiing, photography, and music. I live in San Francisco with my husband, 3 italian greyhounds (Hali, Waldo, and Penny) and our green cheeked conure (Stella). I do not have a favorite book, instead I divide my "favs" into "top 10ish" (no order) and "current"---there are so... more »

    “A touching portrayal of love that binds...read it once and was too engrossed in the story to notice the simple, elegant way McCarthy writes. Read it a second time, really savored his spare style, and enjoyed it all the more.”

    “It is with bittersweet sentiments that I am writing this, and, having just finished the seventh and final Harry Potter, I feel both satisfied and strangely empty. Ultimately, Deathly Hallows is a gratifying conclusion to an unbelievable series that JK Rowling has created. However, it also signifies the end of the anticipation, which many of us have held onto for years, waiting for this book! I feel strangely sad, there will never be another "new" Harry Potter to wait in line for at the stroke of midnight. I suppose solace lies in the fast that the series will always live on for future generations of readers to enjoy. It seems that, with the HP series, JK Rowling not only created the world of Harry, Hermione, and Ron for us, but also a chance to take part in an amazing cultural phenomenon that has captured the hearts of millions, ultimately uniting many different people, much like Harry himself succeeded in doing. DH is brilliant and complex and it has been a joy to watch the characters grow into adulthood.”

    Gone with the Wind

    by Margaret Mitchell
    • Rated 5 stars

    “I have read this book over 40 times! In middle school it was recommended to me and I could not get past the first chapter because I could not stand how shallow Scarlett seemed! Once I got over that hump, I LOVED it, and it has become one of my all time favorite books. I get so involved in it, I still feel saddened at the end. He leaves her EVERYTIME!!!!!!!!!”
