Extended Profile
I decided to update my info after several months as a member. I still love this site and the idea of catch and release of books. I love to read, mainly fiction books but have ventured into biographies as well. I read popular fiction and some Scifi & Fantasy
and really like some of the southern authors like Pat Conroy. Some of my favorite authors are Robin Hobb, Pat Conroy, Wally Lamb,Jodi Picoult,Sheri Reynolds,Joan Vinge and Connie Willis. I work as an activity therapist so sometimes during day long activities
I have time to get some reading in and of course there is always my lunch break. I wish I had more time to devote to reading but life sure does get in the way. I am single(never been married),which is rare now-a-days, but enjoy my independence most of the
time. I love going out with friends to dinner and movies and shopping(for books of course)and spending time with my 5 year old niece, who is the most beautiful girl in the world. Well that is enough for now, it says a little about me but not too much...
update Oct. 18, 2015
a crazy long time since I last updated. most of my stats are the same but I have read more books and my beautiful niece is now 13 years old. She is an avid reader too and loves to write as well. She is currently writing star wars fan fiction.
