Om mitt bibliotek

My library is a cumulative list of books that I have read at any point in my life. I started with books in my possession when I joined Librarything and add books from my past as I remember them. Of course, I add books to my collection, it seems daily, and these go into my list when I acquire them.

Om mig
I am a librarian and a book reader and cook. I am good at baking bread and pastries. Physically I live in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Spiritually I reside in my hometown of Munden, Kansas. I just moved into my first detached house. I am a renter and like the house, but will hate the lawn. Lawn mowers, walmart, car washes, and inadequate public transportation will be the ruination of this country.
