I'm am a librarian. My life's aspirations are to write fiction and do artwork and photography. I live in beautiful San Diego with my husband and my dog (Louie the pug) and my cat, Mr. Hyde. I've studied a fair amount of English Lit...it has grown on me. I love Charles Dickens' "Hard Times" and "Tess of the Durbervilles" especially. I also... more »

    I just finished Sacre Bleu by Chris Moore. You'd like it I think. Yes, coffee or lunch soon.

    The challenges help a lot with that-it's good to get out of your comfort zone and we try to help people do that in a playful way. No pressure to participate-post what you can when you can. Most important is to enjoy yourself and read. Have a great weekend.

    Hi there! I love your profile! I enjoyed viewing your bookshelf. Jonathan Swift's Modest Proposal is one of my all-time favorite satires. I'm always fantasizing about writing a similar work for the modern day. And I just noticed you have read Christopher Moore. Have you read the Gospel According to Levi? That was my first Christopher Moore book, and I highly recommend him. Fun to balance the fun, the scary, the adventurous, and the truth. Great shelf!

    Gad to meet you too - I think you will like Love Creeps. Actually, I'm fairly confident you will love it as it's an amazingly funny book. Women CAN be funny. There's no law against it :)

    She's Come Undone looks like something I should try right about now. The new Palahniuk, Rant, is pretty interesting.

    It is a real email, just not a real important one. I love working in a bookstore! A library that can get me books before they even come out? Yay! Heh.

    I liked the first several Anita Blake books, then they just got creepy. (Even for me).
    If you're looking for deep books, these are not them. They are much like one of the titles, Guilty Pleasures.
    They're light and fun.

    BTW, I just finished The Walking Dead 2. Tomorrow, I need to buy number 3. That's the bad thing about working in a bookstore. It's like putting candy in front of a kid, no resistance.

    I love Y: The Last Man. One of my absolute favorites.

    I saw The Walking Dead on your shelf and had to go buy the first one. I need to go pick up the 2nd tomorrow.
