ABOUT ME

I'm known for my beautiful eyes.

I'm not really all that impatient. I'm also not the fastest reader in the world, but I do actually read everything that I review.  If the book is so bad that I couldn't finish it (this is very rare), I'll let you know at what page I had to bail out and why. I also write about turtles, gardening, and birding on The Ornate Bird Garden and the Ornate Bird Garden blog.
