I am a total Bookaholic. Hence, my blog's name, LOL! It all began when my husband started working full-time steady nights - 5 & 1/2 years worth of steady, full-time nights, starting in January 2001. Our daughter was born that April and our son in August the following year (16 months apart). This July 1st will make 8 years we've been married. Books were my 'get-away-from-the-everyday', so to speak. They still are, LOL! I still have every book I've bought since January 2001 - over 800 books, and that doesn't include the books I haven't read yet and are currently sitting in my TBR pile. I'm the accounts manager/office manager of my family's auto repair shop, specializing in rebuilt engines and high-performance.
