false 879211 I read fiction and non-fiction. I am particularly drawn to fantasy. I like craft books, cookbooks, textbooks and novels. My house is overflowing with various types of books, from histories and biographies to sci-fis and thrillers.
I have a passion for well-made books. Don't get me wrong, I've got nothing against paperbacks. But there's just something about a lovely, sturdy hardcover. I love books bound in leather and silk and cloth. I thrill at fine plates and illustrations and good, thick paper under my fingers. I just get this wonderful satisfaction when I feel the weight of a good, robust volume in my hands. There's just nothing like a good book! Quality writing and craftsmanship should go hand-in-hand.]]> 23 female Zephyr, ON, Canada 02/2008 11/2009 10 410 269 true 5687189 read 2 true 1786190 currently-reading 134 true 1786189 to-read 3 true 3282615 temporarily-put-aside 2 true 3083942 abandoned 335 false 3026571 fiction 143 false 3026677 fluff 140 false 1786226 owned 59 false 3026615 non-fiction 57 false 3036890 favourites 40 false 1786511 wish-list 13 false 1786436 folio 12 false 2123535 next 10 false 2874044 to-reread http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/show/188887 http://photo.goodreads.com/users/1248290196p2/879211.jpg 879211 Symbol http://photo.goodreads.com/users/1248290196p2/879211.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/879211-symbol Wed, 18 Nov 2009 10:46:36 -0800 Paladin of Souls (Chalion, #2) by Lois McMaster Bujold]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/74030057 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170597853s/61904.jpg 879211 Symbol http://photo.goodreads.com/users/1248290196p2/879211.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/879211-symbol Fri, 09 Oct 2009 19:12:44 -0700 The Dance of Deception: A Guide to Authenticity and Truth-Telling in Women's Relationships (Paperback) by Harriet Goldhor Lerner]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/70323840 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172537511s/187134.jpg 879211 Symbol http://photo.goodreads.com/users/1248290196p2/879211.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/879211-symbol Sun, 06 Sep 2009 23:23:12 -0700 The Dance of Intimacy: A Woman's Guide to Courageous Acts of Change in Key Relationships (Paperback) by Harriet Goldhor Lerner]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/70321354 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1168274297s/31316.jpg 879211 Symbol http://photo.goodreads.com/users/1248290196p2/879211.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/879211-symbol Sun, 06 Sep 2009 22:44:20 -0700 The Dance of Anger: A Woman's Guide to Changing the Patterns of Intimate Relationships (Paperback) by Harriet Goldhor Lerner]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/70321232 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1168274296s/31312.jpg 879211 Symbol http://photo.goodreads.com/users/1248290196p2/879211.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/879211-symbol Sun, 06 Sep 2009 22:42:45 -0700 That's Not What I Meant!
