Just succeeded in logging on to Booktagger, and am in the process of filling my shelves. Sure wish there were an easier way, rather than one at a time. I read about 10 books a week, or more, so I doubt I will be able to log all the books I have read! It would be great if you could just list favorite authors! When I read a book that I like, I generally will check out every book by that same author. I have a list of dozens of authors that I want to read, and add to it all the time. Plus, I find myself re-reading series, again and again. I enjoy a variety of fiction stories, but it HAS TO BE fiction. I get enough of real life and real people situations in my daily life, books are for dreamin.

I look forward to meeting other avid readers, and sharing our great love of the written word. If I survived "the end of the world" and could have only ONE thing from this life, I would ask for, what else, BOOKS! Nothing else compares, or allows the imagination to soar, as does a good story! For a little while, I can travel all over the globe and into space, and become any person or alien that I want to be. The good guy wins, after a struggle fraught with danger, terror and foolish courage; love triumphs, and there is usually a happy ending, although not always the obvious one. Give me a good story, and I am content.

Glad to be here! Dessa M
