I'm an avid reader of all sorts of books. I don't think that I can be pigeon-holed into a particular category - I enjoy jumping from one genre to another and then to another.

    Hi Gracie, thanks for accepting my friendship here on Shelfari. I must admit i'm very bad at keeping up with it...I must go now and update my shelf. I see you read Black Elk Speaks...I love it. I read mostly spiritual books but I have bought a few fiction books recently. I will read them when i get to them as i have just been sent two more books to read. I am an author myself and spend most of my time writing. My guide is Black Elk. We just finished a day of great creativity...great feeling! Tell me - What is a wirehair pointing griffon lol ?
