Extended Profile
I've been an incurable reader my whole life, I somehow learned when I was 3, my mother discovered I could when she realized I was actually reading my birthday cards.
I majored in English after a detour into music, minored in theater. After never finding a full time teaching job after twenty years, I went back to college again and now work in a hospital as a clinical laboratory scientist. Besides reading, my main hobby is
knitting - I've been at it since I was 4 years old, and up till recently taught knitting at Rumpelstiltskin Yarns (www.rumpelstiltskinyarns.com). I also crochet, embroider, and needlepoint and am learning to tat and nalbind. I am a lifelong fan of the NY Mets
(what did you expect, I was raised by a Brooklyn Dodger fan) and I live and die with my boys! I deeply miss Shea Stadium, the new one is just....restaurants.
Somehow I married a man who rarely reads - how did that happen? My friends have kids and don't have time to read. So I'm hoping this will be a way for me to connect with other readers, get some recommendations, share books, etc.
I love to travel, here's a map of countries I've visited:

*NOTE: While I'd love to be able to just swap with everyone and anyone, I have to say that for now, only U.S. swap requests, please. Postage is just too outrageously expensive for me to mail books overseas, even at the slowest rate.
