I'm a 31 year old mother of one, and have been an avid reader since age 4, when I read my first novel, A Wrinkle in Time by Madeline L'Engle. I'm willing to read just about anything, just put it in front of my face. :)
My favourite authors currently are: Anne Rice, Stephen King, Robert Heinlein, Terry Pratchett, Michael Jenks, Sharon Kay Penman, Orson Scott Card, David Eddings... and that's just currently. :)
I also have a voracious appetite for history. I center a lot of my research on Romani Studies pre-1600, but I'm pretty much into anything that is not contemporary. Even some of the contemporary stuff catches my eye occasionally.
You can keep up with what's going on in my life by visiting gipsy's musings, my weblog, or gilded digital designs, my freelance webdesign site.
Pretty much everything that's in my bookshelf is up for grabs, so please PM or email me if you are interested in something that I have available! I'm also adding new books as I find something in my (overloaded) personal bookshelf, so if you don't see something right off, contact me and I'll see if I have it!
