bloomernut's Profile

I'm happily married to a handsome fireman and expecting our first baby in August.

My two favorite authors are Margaret Atwood and Wally Lamb.  I tend to hoard books so this is an easy  way to declutter my shelves and pass a good book on to someone else.  My favorite genre is contemporary fiction.  I don't care for romance or chick lit, but their always is the occassional exception.

For some reason I prefer trade paperbacks as opposed to mass market paperbacks.  I know, it's ridiculous...but I do.

I also attach a few stray dog hairs to each book I send.  Consider it a contribution from my pet lab and graciously accept it.  There's not much I can do about it.

Happy Reading!
