I’m a Midwestern gal pushing forty. I love reading books, recommending books, perusing bookstores and paying my ever-growing library fines. My husband has been instructed to scatter my ashes near a bookstore when I die. I take books on vacation, buy books while on vacation and write book reviews at the bookstore where I work.
I am also in the process of growing a new generation of book readers. My 3 1/2 year old son arrived in this world with a four shelf bookcase filled with books that I purchased long before he was even conceived. Now he always tries to get me to read “just one more” at bedtime. Last count was 6 books at bedtime.

It’s great to run into someone else as obsessed with books as I am. I’m enjoying your blog. My son inherited the gene and has passed it onto my grandsons. It didn’t hurt that he read to them in utero by resting his head on his wife’s belly every evening and reading the Chronicles of Narnia out loud.
