My Mother was right - I should've been an English teacher.

I have loved reading as long as I can remember. I think it all started with Where The Wild Things Are and Jumanji. Those books carried me out my bedroom window and into another world that I soon realized I never wanted to leave. I can so vividly picture myself sitting in my childhood bedroom reading the same books over and over again. Ah! To be transported to another place, another time...there is nothing like it!

I think I find out something new about myself with each book I read. New loving, loathing, feeling that I never knew existed inside of me until then. I tend to gravitate towards books that I can relate to in some way, but I am up for anything.

I started my own novel about a year ago and haven't visited it in quite some time. It will get done when it gets done. In the meantime I write poetry - something I have done since I was about 11.

My husband and I live in South Jersey with our Siamese cat, Bailey. Happy reading! « less
