A propos de ma bibliothèque
This represents and helps me keep track of my favorite authors. It gives me a chance to search for what books the authors have written.

I also am in the process of adding my favorite classics that were part of my past and ones I studied in college.
A propos de moi
Reading is such a necessity in my life and always has been. It led to an English major, teaching high school English for 20 years. It was wonderful working with teens; I truly miss it. Today I read for a large church book club that began six years ago and has three groups curently reading a book a month and discussing it. I lead one group's discussion and am very grateful for these women; they are my close friends. In my older years, I believe this is a wonderful blessing to read good books and discuss them.
