Tara had to say...

I'm Tara, 23 and from southern Illinois. I love to read. I have an obsession with books.

I love the smell of a library. I love to open a book that hasn't been opened in a while and just smell it. Weird, I know.

At last count (Dec. 22, 2007), I have about 245 books on my TBR pile.

Unfortunately, I seem to be adding to that pile faster than I can actually make a dent in it.

I love the Boxer feature. I will rarely turn down an offer. I know that I probably shouldn't accept all of them or even request all that I do, but I'm addicted.

I love mysteries, horror, thriller, true crime, historical, biographies. I sometimes tend to feel that a book is not really worth reading unless someone dies in it. Morbid,I know.

I've got a few books that I used for my college courses that I have highlighted and/or written in the margins, therefore rendering them unpostable. If you are interested I will throw them in for free:

ISBN: 0917974573 --> Mandragola by Niccolo Machiavelli
ISBN: 0275980928 --> The Columbian Exchange: Biological and Cultural Consequences of 1492 by Alfred W. Crosby
ISBN: 0312111274 --> The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano: Written by Himself
ISBN 0140714626 --> The Merchant of Venice by William Shakespeare

I also have some other books that are unpostable due to other reasons. I will also include them free if interested:

ISBN: 0449206181 --> Murder at the FBI by Margaret Truman - the front cover is in pretty bad shape, but everything else is intact and fine.
