Acerca de mi bibliotecaThis isn't actually a catalog of books on my shelf, but of books I've read, as I am reading them. Therefore, there are books on here that are not actually mine while there are also many books on my shelves that are not included here.

I'm a children's librarian and have a background in early childhood education so my library contains a fairly large quantity of board books, picture books, early readers, chapter books, and the occasional professional literature regarding child development and education.

In general, my favorite genres tend to be mysteries, science fiction, nonfiction, and the classics canon (especially Victorian-era British novels), but I'll read from just about any genre if the book in question sounds interesting enough. In addition, I am a huge fan of both comic books and audiobooks; I refuse to tolerate the 'that's not reading' argument.

Some of the time, I am making (slow) progress toward reading the books listed in 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die. (Note: The original list has been revised to take away/add titles. If you count the number of books on both lists, it totals 1,297.)
