I am a lover of all types of books, magazines, fiction, non-fiction, travel, cooking, etc, etc, etc.... I am married with 2 adult children, and 2 dogs. I am kept busy with work, family, friends, and of course.... reading. My dream would be to one day place enough shelves on my bedroom walls to hold all my books. If only I could convince hubby!!!!
