Sobre mimHi, I'm Allie. I'm in my mid-50s, twice divorced, with three grown children who have fled the nest, and two cats who have not. I live in Ontario, Canada, where I work as a travel agent for a large international corporate travel agency. In my spare time I read copious amounts of books, usually about a hundred a year. Also, I find deep relaxation in learning languages.

I love to travel, to play any sort of word game, and to take long walks with my camera. I'm fascinated with etymology, linguistics, paleoanthropology, and the British Royal Family.

Sobre a minha bibliotecaMy library is mainly fiction, and these days it's heavily weighted by Scandinavian crime novels. I've been reading them for over a decade, and collecting them has become one of life's real pleasures. There's also other stuff in my library: books about animals - particularly primates, biographies, some fantasy and science fiction, and a bit of true crime, books on the British royals, various religious studies texts, and a goodly amount of classic fiction.
