Like most people here, I joined because I'm an avid reader! I grew up with my nose in a book, thanks to my mother who instilled that into me. I can still often be found with a book in hand, or even two or three others that I've started lying around somewhere.

My tastes generally fall into categories like psychology/therapy (since I am a therapist, I do have to keep up to date), to mysteries and to my favorite horror (aka Stephen King). I am always looking for new authors and look forward to input from others on here! I often find I stick to the authors I know because it is easier than venturing out into unknown territory to discover new authors. I am working to change that and hope to use this medium to motivate me to explore the many uncharted reading worlds out there!! « less
