Om migI live in southeastern Pennsylvania, near both Delaware and Maryland, and am currently an IT director for a large company. I'm married with 2 teenage daughters, 2 dogs, 3 cats, and a number of domestic ducks and geese. When I'm not reading, I tend my fruit & veg garden, and volunteer at a bird rescue & rehab center.

Where books are concerned, I read mostly fiction: books by and about women, books by authors from outside the U.S., and classics. When I read non-fiction, it's usually memoirs or history. I like reading with a goal in mind whether that be a short-term reading challenge, or a longer-term project. I'm working on reading all Booker and Orange Prize winners, and am reading books from as many countries as possible (see "Reading Globally" map below).

Of course I have a wishlist!
My Wishlist Collection has a few items. And I have a long wishlist, mostly Virago Modern Classics, on my Paperbackswap Profile.

Om mitt bibliotekThis library consists of books I've read (see tags like "read in 2008"), or plan to read (tag "TBR"). I don't own all of the books listed, and there are many in my home that I haven't cataloged.

I have been writing reviews since 2007, and post my reviews both on LibraryThing and on my blog, Musings. In 2009, I'm tracking my reading in two places:
- 75 Book Challenge thread
- Reading Globally thread

LT has made me a more discerning reader; I have found so many excellent books through LT recommendations that I can't be bothered with books that haven't received critical acclaim. My ratings tend to be 3 stars or better.
