I'm a BookTuber! Check out my channel at Belle's Library!

The books on my shelf do not necessarily reflect my reading tastes or interests. In the past, I found and released books of most genres.

I'm Sarah Coller, aka elizardbreath. I received that lovely moniker from my mom (BookCrosser Charlieshack) when I was about 7, as a play on my middle name, Elizabeth. I am a 44 year old wife of 25 years and mother of 9, 7 still at home. I have 4 boys and 5 girls aged 24 down to 11, and two baby grandchildren! My husband and I homeschool our kids, a job that is mainly mine since he works full time as a software programmer. I am a Whole Bible Believer and have an encouraging ministry channel on YouTube called, Hope Cottage. Please check it out if this is something that interests you. For the past 18 years of membership, I have formed wonderful friendships, experienced literature that I never would have picked up before, and learned a lot about the world outside of my own little spot on the map.
