A reader, a writer, a keen observer of nature ...

My favourite reading tends to lean towards the Fiction/Literature category, although I occasionally read a mystery or thriller, and always enjoy poetry. The kid in me loves children's books. My mother and I trade books constantly and we're always keen on trying something new.

My bookmark currently rests between the pages of _A Blade of Grass_ by Lewis DeSoto.

# If anyone has one of the books I've listed above and would be willing to 'release' it in the mail to me, I would be tickled pink (and would promise to read and add a journal entry, then re-release it into the wild).
