Well...what can I say? I'm an ex-systems analyst turned Red Cross tech from Peoria, Illinois, where I'm also a married mother of 3 kids and one big dumb dog. Right now, I'm working for the American Red Cross and LOVING it!! Reading is my one true passion (other than my family, that is!) I created this blog so that I can vent some....but mostly to review and record the books that I've read!
