My name is Kim, I live in California, I'm married with 4 kids, 2 grandsons and 1 granddog. I'm absolutely addicted to books. I read books from all genres although lately I've been mostly interested in historical fiction and books that make me think about moral issues. I will even read cookbooks! I also love children's books.
