About My Library
I'm still in the process of cataloging books and am running out of space for them. The majority of my books are fiction although I read a lot of women's memoirs, too. I try to read from my shelves, but shiny new library books do catch my attention.

Ratings:
2 or fewer stars - Why on earth did I finish this?
2 1/2 stars - It's not totally without good points, but I wouldn't recommend it.
3 stars - I like it. It may appeal to others more than to me.
3 1/2 stars - I like it a lot.
4 stars - I love it.
4 1/2 stars - Almost perfect.
5 stars - Perfect.
About Me
I am a lifelong reader and an enthusiastic library patron. I teach college English, so I am always looking for great new books to teach.
