She is an avid reader and particularly enjoys classics, YA fiction, and self-help books (just for fun!).

My Current Read: The Complete Sherlock Holmes, Volume 2
This volume begins after "The Hound of the Baskervilles." I had heard a lot about Holmes dying in "The Final Problem," and thought it would feel really lame when Doyle "resurrects" him, but it wasn't. He totally covered all his tracks and made a very believable excuse. I was immediately roped right in once again. I love how after the ten year haitus, Doyle makes Holmes and Watson's characters slightly different, just as he himself was a different person. It broke my heart to see Watson as a widower, typed after Doyle himself, but it's interesting in this second volume how he and Holmes have become independent and follow cases all for the fun and intrigue of it. Now I'm really interested to see how he ends it all.
Current Read: "Dawn" by Eleanor H. Porter
After "Just David," I guess I'm on an Eleanor H. Porter kick! I was wondering if all her books would feel the same, but so far "Dawn" is a lot different. It's the main character child who is in need of help instead of all the adults. I can't decide if his problem is all in his head or not, and she's killing me with the suspense. P.S. I like the British title a lot better: "Keith's Dark Tower"
