We're a non-smoking household that loves animals (I have 1 dog, 3 indoor cats and 3 outdoor cats), although the pets aren't allowed in the rooms where we store our books. I love reading (we had a library room built in our house with books floor to ceiling and library ladders) and I belong to two wonderful book clubs. Unfortunately, I'm also a TV addict, so that interferes with my reading time. I used to work at a library, so I was surrounded by books. Now I'm surrounded by books at home! What's not to love?
