About My Library
My library is large and eclectic. I pretty much only read fiction, but I love all kinds of books. When I want to learn about something, I buy lots of books on the subject. My library is actually *our* library. It's blended, and some day all of the military history books will be cataloged as well.

In case you're wondering...

Ratings Rationales
* not worth the paper it's printed on
*½ maybe not a waste of paper, but probably a waste of time
** not awful, but not terribly good, either
**½ worth a read, satisfying, but not one for the ages
*** solid, a worthy representative of its genre
***½ really, really good
**** exceptional
****½ practically perfect in every way
***** might as well have been written by the deity of your choice

Some blogs about books and about life:

Enrique Freeque's Forum from our very own LTer, EnriqueFreeque

Book Hog, by fellow Borders survivor and all-around book gal, Jacki Leach

And, of course, my own:

The Book Frog books, book reviews, a bookish life

About Me
I'm a lifelong reader, book lover, inveterate book collector, and now bookstore owner. Yeah, I really do need to be around books all the time.
