Sobre mimI live alone with my two cats. I am a poor college student who shouldn't buy books but who does anyway. I am a literature major, and I want to get my masters in library sciences. I work at a daycare, and I have 12 babies there who I love. I am a bookworm who loves to have meaningful conversations about books, films, and music. I am a lifelong learner who always wants to know more about everything.
Sobre a minha bibliotecaThese are all books that are on my shelves. It includes guilty pleasures, classic literature, history books, and texts (as I refuse to sell back my books!).

The question is: If you could steal a skull, any skull, whose would you choose, and why?
Cranioklepty (the theft of skulls) has fallen out of fashion, but it wasn’t very long ago that stealing skulls was viewed by some as akin to possessing genius. Colin Dickey’s forthcoming CRANIOKLEPTY: GRAVE ROBBING AND THE SEARCH FOR GENIUS (Pub date: September 29, 2009) takes us on an extraordinary history of a peculiar kind of obsession. The desire to own the skulls of the famous, for study, for sale, for public (and private) display, seems to be instinctual and irresistible in some people. So we ask again, WHOSE SKULL WOULD YOU DIG?
Send us your choice—by leaving a comment on our profile page or via email (cranioklepty@gmail.com) between September 9 and October 21, 2009. We’ll be posting the most lively ones (no pun intended) and as a thank you, we’ll be sending a copy of CRANIOKLEPTY to the folks whose selections most intrigued us. Winners will be announced on October 31, 2009 (yes, on Halloween). For complete rules and regulations visit http://cranioklepty.com/pick-a-skull/rul.... We do not, for the record, endorse the actual stealing of skulls!

Set in the slums of New Orleans, among clusters of crack houses and abandoned buildings, Dirty Little Angels is the story of sixteen year old Hailey Trosclair. When the Trosclair family suffers a string of financial hardships and a miscarriage, Hailey finds herself looking to God to save her family. When her prayers go unanswered, Hailey puts her faith in Moses Watkins, a failed preacher and ex-con. Fascinated by Moses's lopsided view of religion, Hailey, and her brother Cyrus, begin spending time down at an abandoned bank that Moses plans to convert into a drive-through church. Gradually, though, Moses's twisted religious beliefs become increasingly more violent, and Hailey and Cyrus soon find themselves trapped in a world of danger and fear from which there may be no escape.
If you'd like to read the first chapter, you can read it here:

(Merrilou Thomas)
Fairest of flowers sprinkled with dew,
You blossom in summer and bring beauty new.
There's no way to tell you how lovely you are ...
You're bright as the sunshine compared to a star.
Your perfume floats softly o'er meadow and hill
And when, comes the winter, it lingers there still.
You brighten the pathway, entwine with the tree.
No, there's not a flower as lovely as thee.
