Amanda had to say...

I am the mom of two boys and an ex-preschool teacher. I have been married to my husband for almost 11 years. I spend most of my time volunteering at my children's school, reading, and watching my favorite TV shows (of which I have way too many!). I like to read a lot of different things, but I especially like cozy mysteries, historical fiction, and ghost stories. It's hard to find a good ghost story these days with all this werewolf/shapeshifter stuff around.

My home is a non-smoking environment, but I do buy books from used book stores and obviously order them from this site. We also have a cat, who likes to sniff my books for some odd reason, so if you have pet allergies then you may not want to order from me. I'm pretty picky about the books I send out....less picky about the ones I recieve. As long as they meet the minimum posting conditions for the site, I am happy.

All my reading time has evaporated. It seems like all I do is 1)ChaCha work, 2)think or discuss politics, or 3)watch Monarch of the Glen with my hubbie. My books look at me and say, have you forgotten us? It's really sad. I haven't forgotten how to order them though...yikes!

This month I have read When the Ghost Screams by Leslie Rule. It was okay. It was really a collection of information of supposedly haunted locations in the US. There were some interesting facts in there, but since I don't really believe in ghosts (which begs the question as to why I chose to read this), I didn't get as much out of it as a potential believer would. Lots of photos and history, good stuff for the easily spooked.

I'm currently reading The Audicty of Hope by Barack Obama and it's quite interesting. I find Obama to be a very open-minded, empathetic person. While it's fair to say that a conservative would probably not be interested in reading this book, one of the coolest things about it is seeing how things work in the Senate through they eyes of a person in it. There are lots of behind the scene things that I never really knew about. I'm getting a little history lesson as well.
