Extended Profile
Hi! I am lit-fandango, and my screen name reveals a book fan who also enjoys movies.

I was married 40 years to a great guy -- sadly he died of cancer July 2010. I'm blessed with four adult kids and ten grandchildren, seven girls and three boys, from 9 to 20 years old.

In the fall of 2002, I returned to college after 35 years, graduating in May '05 with a degree in -- what else?-- literature! I concentrated on creative writing and hope to have my own work published and registered here someday.


About Requests and Trades (U.S. only)
I moved to a smaller house, released or otherwise shared many books, and had some trouble keeping up with bookcrossing entries. There may be books on my BC bookshelf that I no longer have, but I will honor requests if I can.
