Extended Profile
As an avid reader, I have always passed books around through my friends and family. Lately, after everyone was done, I have gotten them back and sold them on ebay. I just don't like good books sitting on shelves to collect dust. I know some people like
shelves and shelves of books they have read, but I want to get those "great reads" out to others. My Grandmother used to share books years ago with her sisters, her daughters and then granddaughters. Each person reading the book would sign it and date when
they finished the book, then they would write a little comment about what they liked or disliked. It is great to go back to some of these books, which I have kept, and see my grandmother's writing, aunts, and daughters in these wonderful books. My family will
like this idea of bookcrossing.
Now working part time as a substitute teacher, I have lots of time while subbing to read. I have worked in law enforcement, social work, and teaching. I have raised three children and now live in the countryside of Missouri with my husband and three miniature dachshunds. I enjoy reading, of course; writing, gardening, sewing, painting, and friends and family. I am active in church and the community. Life is good, and even better when, at times, you can escape into a great BOOK. I am looking forward to many good reads.
