A propos de ma bibliothèque
Fairly eclectic in subject matter, though leaning towards historical fiction with a strong storytelling nature (probably due to my mother's family tales from living in a rural town in Virginia). I like to mix a few classics inbetween bestsellers and literary novels, and revisiting a favorite from the past ("A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" or "Fountainhead" for example) always surprises me with new insights.
A propos de moi
School librarian about to retire. What a perfect way to enjoy the ecstacy of librarianship with out the agony of overdues!
I read 3 books at a time, my lunchbreak novel, my audiobook when driving, and my bedtime book.
