Introduction

Hi there! I'm Sara and I'm 20. I'm the third of three sisters and aunt to two and a half - whoops, no, he's a whole now! Family legend has it that I learned to read at age 3 and haven't stopped since. The public library is one of my favorite places in the whole world, I'm a book cover snob (aged and beautiful or new and chic - no faded 80's plastic, please!!) and dream of one day having a room filled with wall-to-wall bookcases except for one little spot for tea by the sunny window. I'm crazy about crafts of any kind and am taking a distance course from The English Gardening School. Most of my books tend to be non-fiction (craft and gardening books!), but the ratio is changing to about half and half. 

Favorite authors include Gene Stratton Porter, Charles Dickens, Elizabeth Gaskell, Jane Austen (of course), Jean Henri Fabre, Lousia May Alcott, Victor Hugo, Mark Twain, etc, etc.... My favorite genre is probably adventure in the Jules Verne/H. Rider Haggard style. Bring on the Victorian hot air balloons! Least favorite: fantasy. Not sure why.... Also, there is a resounding lack of good detective fiction in my life that I keep meaning to mend.
