I've
been an avid reader for a long time. When I started
school and we were finally given the privilege of
borrowing books from the school library, I didn't
really know where to begin. So I started at one end
of the library and worked my way around to the other,
picking anything that looked interesting. From mythology
to sports, and Sue Barton to Winnie The Pooh; I loved
it all. Thus, I developed a rather eclectic taste
in books.
My
first public library card opened yet another door
to a wider range of books. At university, I'd wander
through the stacks of the main library on the pretext
of studying with my boyfriend - never mind that I
should have been in the Health Sciences library! The
only time I took a brief hiatus from reading was when
my children were very young. And even then, that wasn't
entirely true. Instead of reading for myself, I read
to them and with them. I also read all the latest
baby development books I could get my hands on. Now,
I love to browse bookstores and used book sales. My
shelves are overflowing, but there's always room for
one more book. You'll still find me poking my nose
into libraries and over people's shoulders to see
what they're reading.
So now that you know how I became
a reading addict, please stay awhile and look around.
I've got numerous links to other book-related sites
as well as my own pages. It's a place to share my
love of books and reading. You can navigate by clicking
on the links at the top of each page or on the underlined
links throughout the site.
You'll find some of my opinions on
books and reading, interesting links to authors, my
current and past reading lists, and reviews and comments
of books that I've read. My Ramblings is a catch-all
section of reminiscences, rants, and raves.
