Books and reading have always been an important part of my life. When I was very young, my grandma was the library director at our local public library. Years later, after she had retired, I became a librarian at the same library and worked there for several years before taking a part-time job at a local coffee shop, which gives me more time to do what I love, to read and to review books! A few of my favorite authors are Aimee Bender, Diane Chamberlain, and Curtis Sittenfeld however, I will read almost any book I come across! In my spare time you can find me reading (of course), volunteering at a wildlife animal rehab, or hanging out with my three house rabbits.

Imagine living in the lap of luxury, having every little thing you wanted, summering in you "summer" home...and yet having a mother who is absent and has never really been there for you. Now imagine s…
The lives of ballerinas have always seemed glamourous and exciting. The dancing, the lights, the applause. The dedication and love for a hobby that is much more than a hobby--or a job for that matter.…
The teen years are often difficult, not only for the teen going through them, but for friends and family also. It's a time of change, and often these years help a person develop a sense of who they ar…
I grew up hearing my mom talk about her interest in the Romanov family, and Anastasia in particular, about whom rumors fly that she has been spotted here and there throughout the world. Anastasia has …
For the majority of my life, I have struggled with my weight. This struggle is self-inflicted though. It is a voice that is with me at all times, a little whisper lurking just behind the darkest corne…
In Paradise is a book that I will not soon forget. It is haunting in the most endearing way, telling the story of a man who goes to visit a place where so many horrors occurred years ago, an…
