Other than reading, I am a proofreader by profession, and trying to break into a healthy freelance career reading books. Why not get paid to do what I love???]]>FCarrollton, TX08/200912/2009610392true5921615read0true5582388currently-reading11true5582367to-readRose Daughter (Paperback) by Robin McKinley]]>

Tue, 08 Dec 2009 15:30:50 -0800 It's witty, and has irony, it's full of flawed but endearing characters, that, for the most part, come to realize their flaws (or, at least the major players).
