I grew up in Western New York, with a huge Italian, German, and Irish influence in my family life. Frederick Douglas, Susan B. Anthony, the Haudenosaunee, and the Erie Canal are a big part of the history in my area. This is, I believe, is one reason I like reading about history and historical fiction.
I garden, cook, and preserve some of the food I grow. I, also, enjoy traveling. A book or two are always with me when I travel. And there is always one in my car, at my desk, and anywhere I may have a chance to read. Primarily I read fiction--young adult, historical fiction, mysteries, thrillers. I do enjoy a good memoir, biographies, and cookbooks. If someone recommends something, I will always check it out.
I just wanted to put this out there for anyone interested-Chronicle Books wants to donate 30,000 books to Firstbook.org, which helps to put books into the hands of children living in low income households. They will donate 1 book for every pledge to give a book this holiday season. Chronicle Books is accepting pledges at givebooks.com. Since we are all
booklovers here, I thought this would be a good share.
