Hi, I'm Connie from Connecticut and I would like to join the Winter 2013-14 Challenge. I belong to a few library bookgroups, a short story group, and enjoy lifelong learning classes. I read a mix of books, with many of the books set in other countries. I used to work in healthcare so I enjoy books with medical themes too. I enjoy the theater so try to read some plays too. I'm married and have two adult daughters.
