Welcome to My Library

Books have always been a huge part of my life and my most valuable treasures. My favorite way to learn is when a question or meer curiosity catches up to me - giving me a topic to research and study until the answer or curiosity is fulfilled. What a wonderful thing it is to have so many answers available anytime you need them! I'm slowly adding the books I have to this list, so it is incomplete. Eventually I hope to have all my books on here to provide visitors with insight into topics you may be interested in and also for me to keep track of what I have just for fun! If you are interested in a book I have, let me know and perhaps I'll let you borrow it or have it. <3 jen Note: * currently reading ** I borrowed *** Lent out (personal comments)
