I've been an avid reader since I was a little girl and still read several books a week. I participate in my church book discussion group and love the directions our discussions can take.

Although my main books of choice are murder mysteries and cookbooks, I enjoy books that make me think and question my opinions. I particularly enjoy historical fiction and nonfiction.

I have passed on my love of reading to my two daughters, who also read constantly. They are now old enough to read the same books I read, and discuss them.
