I live in Ontario. About 15-20 minutes away from Niagara Falls. I have a son who will be 21 come July. On April 23 2009 I became a grandmother to a baby girl named Alexandria Ann Marie. I love anything relating to books and anything to do with books. Reading them, browsing bookstores, rearranging shelves(in bookstore or at home), browsing author sites. I did the challenge in 2006, 2007 and 2008, But it was in 2007 that I joined up with KatherineT and scoobie(Kel) to form The Quiet Canadians. I think it was 2004 that I made the discovery of the boards at eharlequin.com and watched it grow over the years.
