Extended Profile
I have loved books since I first got my hands on one. A highlight of my childhood was the weekly trip to the library to borrow the limit allowed, followed by the letdown of finishing them all in a few days and having none left for the rest of the week.
I'm still a compulsive reader, and can't let myself acquire new books if I have too many other responsibilities because I'll read to the exclusion of all else, even sleep. When I like an author, I'll go on a binge and read as many of her/his books as I can
find. In my real life, I'm married to a great guy and have a grown daughter. I've worked in theatre, food service, publishing, insurance, and education, and have volunteered for many years with Girl Scouts. Other interests include travel, theatre, movies,
knitting, sewing, gardening, cooking/baking, and supporting local sustainable agriculture.

Recent "big" read: The Sunne in Splendour by Sharon Kay Penman -- stumbled into my Game of Thrones binge soon after and was struck by the similarities.
