About My Library

This catalog includes both my books and my husband's, which explains the science/humanities mix. As much as I'd like to claim polymath status, those physics books nearly got tagged under 'magic', since that's my general assessment of their contents (For example, here's an actual snippet of conversation between my husband and me: "How do you think magnets work?" My answer: "Magic?").

About Me

I'm a one time Classics Professor turned Stay-at-Home Mom/Lady of Leisure turned librarian. I have a great love for books, naturally, and also lists. Lists of books are right up there for me (I have more than a few books that are lists of books, and I have a feeling that I'm not alone in this here). I have to admit that I'm a bit shy about becoming 'public.' I'm nervous about others looking at my books - is that weird? Anyway, I also love sewing and knitting, watching bad B-horror films, and I quite enjoy teaching as well. However, I'm not fond of talking about myself, so I'll just end this here.

What I'm Reading Now:

-The Kaiju Preservation Society (Alex Award)
-Peach Clobbered (mystery)
-Hot Head (romance)
-My Hero Academia Vol 22 (manga)
-The Library of Broken Worlds (wishlist book)
-The Land of Laughs (Green Dragon 1001 Fantasy Books)
-The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires (audiobook)
-Death on the Nile (Christie bibliography)
-The Librarian Always Rings Twice (from the library display shelves)
-Happyhead (Read Soon! Shelves)
