À mon sujetI'm not a voracious reader*, but usually have two or three books going at once, plus I recently started listening to audio books on iPod.
*Ok, thanks to LT I'm now officially A Voracious Reader.

I'm in my fifties and retired on Hallowe'en, 2008!!!

Interests: music (I'm a singer-songwriter/guitarist and play a bit of electric bass; and I just joined a women's choir; I LOVE singing harmony and arranging songs), political activism, photography, organic gardening, writing.

My 75 Book Challenge for 2010

Part 2

My 1010 Challenge

À propos de ma bibliothèqueMy LT library is a combination of books I own, books I've read (some in the distant past and can't remember too much about them, other than I liked them a lot or disliked them a lot) and books on my list to read.

My ratings explained:

1/2 to 2 stars: wouldn't recommend to anyone. 1/2 star is meant to be an insult.
2 1/2 stars: acceptable, probably wouldn't recommend
3 stars: average, might recommend, depending on genre
3 1/2 stars: Pretty good read. I also use this for books I read a long time ago that I know I at least liked but can't recall much about
4 stars: Really good writing, good story, highly recommend.
4 1/2 stars: Darn near perfect.
5 stars: Stunning. Gobsmacked.
