Über meine Bibliothek
I absolutely love books. I can't even describe to you what it is like for me to go into a bookstore, especially a used bookstore. Fantastic!

From a young age, I was encouraged to enjoy reading and I often was seen with a book no matter where I was going. I was scandalized by Stephen King's It in 7th grade, but I was ready to read more mature material, so I'd just grab whatever mom was finished reading.

I need more shelf space but that won't prevent me from getting more books. I get many of my books used, but I do buy new books on a fairly regular basis.

People often give me book recommendations and I'll definitely consider them, but it may take me years to read the book you recommended. I have to feel the book before I read it. If it doesn't hit me right when I start to read it, I'll go to something else. I often will be reading anywhere between 3-5 books at the same time.

My favorite authors include John Irving, Barbara Kingsolver, Margaret Atwood and Joyce Carol Oates. I enjoy Simon Winchester and Mary Roach as well.
Über mich
I work full time in retail and also enjoy photography. I subscribe to way too many magazines and like movies. I'm a fan of the ocean but don't like to sunbathe. I live outside of Portland, OR with my boyfriend, Bryan, and two cats, Zoe and Anderson Cooper.
