I've traveled the world twice over,
Met the famous, saints & sinners,
Poets & artists, kings & queens,
Old stars & hopeful beginners.
I've been where no one's been before,
Learned secrets from writers & cooks,
All with one library ticket
To the wonderful world of books.
-Author Unknown

About Me

I am a reader--one who can't walk into a library without checking out a book, who loves to go to bookstores just to look around, who always brings a book along just in case, who reads at red lights and during lunch breaks and at any spare moment.

Here is a record of the books I've read and why I loved them.

Disclaimers

Disclaimer #1: I read mainly children's fiction. It's just my genre of choice, likely ingrained from my days as an elementary school teacher.

Disclaimer #2: I like almost everything I read. Maybe it's because I choose carefully or because I don't finish books I don't like...or maybe because I just love books.

Disclaimer #3: I may not be your best resource if you're wondering if a book is appropriate for your child. Check out www.commonsensemedia.org for more information on that.

Rating System

* * * = Loved it
* * = Liked it
* = It was okay.

This is based on a 5-star scale (like on Goodreads), but I eliminated the bottom 2 ratings since I wouldn't finish a book I'd rate that low. So, really, a 1 star isn't that bad. (I might also invent an above-and-beyond rating at some point for books I loved loved loved.)
