I love the Shelfari community, and have been having a blast since I joined. If you send me a friendship invitation, drop me a line and let me know why. Do we have a lot of books in common? I love to read. (Doesn't everybody's profile start like that?) Anything from cereal boxes to too many magazines to trashy books to books that make me think. I actually thought I read more intellectual books, but I realized when I was building my bookshelf that there is a hell of a lot of trash. (And I've only added SOME of the books I've read from James Patterson, Harold Robbins, Lawrence Sanders, and Sidney Sheldon. And who can remember all the Dean Koontz and Robin Cook?...they're all the same, after a while. Not to mention cookbooks and more self-help books than I care to admit to. Yikes!)
My Shelfari shelf actually has more books on it than I have at home. But, if it's on my shelf, then I have actually read it. I wish I could remember every book I've ever read, given away, lost, borrowed from friends, or taken from the library.
My "I plan to read" shelf consists of books I actually own, but haven't gotten around to reading, yet. Maybe this will inspire me to read what I have, before I buy any more books. (So far, it's not working...)
My Wish List is just that...I don't have them, and I want to read them (and believe me, I want WAY more than I have on there!) If any of my IRL friends have any of these books, please loan them to me! They will return to you without dog-ears (definitely) and Cheetos stains (probably.)
Personal stuff...I am in my mid-40's, married for 25 years, two grown kids. I am a Labor and Delivery R.N., as can probably be guessed by the number of birth-related books hanging out on my shelves. I am still trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up.
Happy Reading!
