So I like to read....ha-ha, just a little joke there. Actually, books are a security blanket for me. I read them, I collect them, I have notebooks filled with book titles that I would one day like to read and own. Anything with words, I find myself reading it. There is an actual name for my ailment, but I cannot think of it right now. Even though I am an avid reader, I tend to be less enthusiastic about writing. I blog every now and then but it is mostly for fun. I do have a compulsive need to fill journals with my favorite quotes from movies, music and books. Total nerd. I know and I love it. I live in the beautiful mountains of Asheville, NC. I absolutely love this city and the diversity that surrounds it.

After viewing other peoples pages, I realized that I was leaving out a huge part of this entire experience...I wanted to talk a little about my shelf. My shelf consists of books that I have loved at all times within my life. From the earliest books that resonated within me as a young adolescent to books that I have read and never thought of again other than the fact that it was a good read. I have books that were a part of my graduate classes to books that simply fit into my morbid fascination with life and death. Most of the books on my shelf I have read, but there are a few that I either started and never finished, or that I want to read but have not had the chance to do so yet. I hope to gain insight on some of these and I can't wait to get feedback on books that I loved or hated. « less
