Strong Words, Softly Spoken


Bookworm

I’m a huge bookworm. HUGE bookworm. So, this page is dedicated to those books I’ve been reading. I think I started this list in 2006 and I’ve tried to remember every book I’ve ever read, but it’s just not possible, so I have thought of as many as I can….let’s see how long it can get.

If you have any good book suggestions please e-mail me at

Persuasion is my favorite book by my favorite author! Anne Eliot is my heroine. I am going back through all of Austen’s novels in order right now, and I am having fun re-discovering Mansfield Park.
