I'm a mama and a teacher and a writer and an expatriate. I live in france. I read books all the time. I correspond with friends. and I love to drink hot chocolate.

A note about my shelfari "shelf methods." Virtually every book that appears on my shelf is a book I've read. In a few (rare, I think) instances, the book is on my shelf and waiting to be read. Mostly, tho', they've already been read. Some are from my childhood — children's lit still figures big in my personal canon. Some are from my grad school stint. Some are from before becoming a mama. And some are post-mamahood. « less
