Author Comments: 

Moving two states away for grad school necessarily means that I have to make a decision about what to take with me. Library science is my field of study, so I tried to pick out reference materials useful to that, and a good mix of fiction I love to read over and over again as well as books I still want to read. The foreign language study is for me to knuckle down on in what free time I get to have; poetry is for quiet nights; cookbooks are for dinner (really?!); and don't laugh, the Star Wars books are for my writing! A nice mix of favorites there plus research material.
