Om migI am married with three adult daughters.Outside of my family, my passion is reading.I am employed as a Primary School Library Manager. I enjoy my job which centres around fostering a love of reading in children. The regular holiday breaks allow me to not only spend time with my husband and daughters but also catch up on reading.Other favourite recreational pastimes are movies, walking and gardening.
2010 brought the safe arrival of a lovely granddaughter, Grace.
October 2011, our first Grandson arrived early. He is a handsome redhead and another on the way for 2012. Exciting times!

Om mitt bibliotekMy library collection is made up of all the books I have read since 2000, when I started recording what I was reading. I had considered myself a freak until a colleague recommended this website for the children at school. I am no longer alone. Many of my books are borrowed from my local library. However I love a bargain and have purchased a large number of my own books at book sales or heavily discounted. Another source is from my local book group which commenced in 2004. This has been eagerly anticipated from month to month, however since the death of one of our founding members in 2008 we have struggled to achieve the same level of laughter and fellowship. I hope to find some of what I feel I have lost through this website.

Hello,
Prue put me on to you as someone who might be interested in doing an Asia/Pacific book swap for this Christmas. My idea was that, for those interested, I would allocate people a person each to give a book to, they would message their person a list of 10 (or 20 or 50) books that they wouldnt mind losing from their collection, and the person would message back their choice, or a list of their preferences.
So everyone would send and everyone would receive one book.
Would you be keen? There are about 7 each from Aus and NZ that I am contacting, plus one in Malaysia.
Message me back by 10 November if you are interested!
Thanks, Megan
Helen, I was browsing around LibraryThing after starting at my "friend" jeniwren's page and I came across you. I just wanted to say that I can't help smiling when I see the photo of you (I presume it's you) holding a serene looking baby and a book! You look like such a lovely warm person, I'm sure your primary school children must be inspired to read!!
Helen: I couldn't find your personal 2012 BOMBS thread, but wanted to comment on your reference to Chang-rae Lee. I have read a few of his novels and absolutely love his work. I don't know if you have read The Surrendered. I read it six months or so ago and am still haunted by some of the images in that story. His work is very memorable.
Thanks so much for your comment -- I'd love to see that piece of artwork in real life! (And my name's Michelle, too!)
