My personal site is my reading blog, and then my husband and I just started Bookwormz (www.bookwormzonline.com), a site devoted to identifying independent bookstores (currently just in the US, although we're planning/hoping to expand globally) and thereby connecting readers with local alternatives to the chain bookstores. I work at a busy regional public library, in the circulation department, which I really enjoy. I'm also a freelance writer, currently contributing to Authorlink (www.authorlink.com), a website for writers and professionals in the publishing industry. I'm actively involved in BookCrossing (www.bookcrossing.com), so between that and my book club that meets every month, I'm getting to meet a lot of other booklovers in the Charlotte area. Besides reading, I have a keen interest in herbs and aromatherapy, like watching movies, and enjoy outdoorsy-type things like camping, geocaching and hiking. I have a severe case of wanderlust and love to travel.

Favorite Topics
I started my blog as a way of keeping track of what books I've read, and when, and what I thought of them. I also periodically post book/reading-related news, memes, or random tidbits that catch my interest. For me, the best thing about keeping a reading blog is connecting with other readers, learning about other authors and their books (and thereby increasing my ever-growing wishlist!).
