My Dream Library 

Welcome to my dream library!  

You don't need a card to visit or check out any of the enchanted stories.  Please pull up a comfy chair, brew yourself a cup of tea, and enjoy... and don't worry about the dragon, she is very friendly...  unless you damage a book that is.  I can't be responsible for what might happen then.

​

Typically, when I meet a kindred soul, I can sometimes overwhelm them with enthusiasm and overshare all the things that I love.  It is akin to being caught in a glitter explosion and getting buried under titles of books, movies, articles, photos, stories, philosophy, spirituality, psychic phenomena, clothes, cats, and...

To mitigate this, I have listed below many of the things that excite me or have had an impact on me in some way.  This list is by no means exhaustive; it is merely a starting point on the inner roadways of inspiration for my imagination. 

By explanation…

I enjoy happy endings and stories with a positive outcome...

I make no apologies for this.  Visuals and engaging stories profoundly influence me, and so I choose to surround myself only with happiness.  Life has enough trials and tribulations for me without adding to them with disturbing fictional stories.  I am still traumatized by my grade school teacher’s reading of Old Yeller.  Therefore, the stories I list below are beautiful, enchanting, quirky, or old-fashioned swashbuckling fun yarns.  If there is an exception to this, I have put an asterisk by it.  Those few stories may be challenging, sad, somewhat graphic, or slightly disturbing.  To me, they have value in terms of their power, lessons, or beauty.  I love them, and so I have included them on my list.  Be warned, however, they are not simply feel-good stories.
