A Latter-day Bluestocking

So here I am!  I’ve always wanted to write.  I’ve always wanted to share my love of the literary, everything and anything literary.  I’ve been procrastinating over this, literally hemming and hawing, agonizingly wanting everything to be absolutely perfect before I embarked.  But nothing is ever perfect and so I decided to just go for it.  So now I’ve made the leap.  I will make mistakes, I will be slow, my technological ineptness will frustrate me (and most likely you, dear reader).  I ask that you forgive my unpracticed and unskilled first steps.  In time, it will get better.  Queen Victoria said it best, “I will be good.”

I love the classics, science-fiction, fantasy, historical fiction, biography, poetry, history, letters, autobiography, short stories, horror, American Literature, English Literature, French Literature, garden books, food books, cooking books, and graphic novels.  It’s all good to me.  This does not, by any stretch of the imagination, mean I like everything I read; I am passionate about that in which I detest as well as that which I love.  For example, you will soon find out that I love Jane Austen.  To me, she can do no wrong…she is FLAWLESS!  See that passion?  I can’t think of anything that I absolutely loathe at the moment but give it time…the rants will come.

Here’s to good reading!
