Echte naam: Sue Jones Johnson
Over mijn bibliotheek: Mostly fiction. I prefer comtemporary as opposed to classics, but some non fiction and biographies as well. I also list audio books, which can be very satisfying if the narrator is good.
Over mij: I'm a retired Public Library reader's advisor, so obviously I love to READ! I also love librarything because it forces me to write concisely about the books I've read, and I appreciate suggestions on what to read next!
Woonplaats: Charleston SC
