Aloha from Hawaii. I'm a retired community college professor . . . now trying to read through the stacks of books I bought in preparation for retiring. My motto (not original) is "you can never have too many books."

I raised six children (on books nightly) and now have six grandchildren to buy books for so I am always looking for new sources of reading material.

I don't read history books, but enjoy travel/history. I'm spending my retirement years traveling, and waiting for my husband to retire so he can join me on the trips. Even though I enjoy travel I do not travel without books to read.

I was born and raised in West Hollywood, California. My family spent summers on Balboa Island which is where I'll live when I win the lottery.
