About Connie

Connie isn't my real name...it's actually Cath. I live just outside of Washington, DC. with my husband, James, baby daughter (let's call her Lulu), three cats, and one massive collection of Sweet Valley High books. James is in a punk band. I'm in the DAR. We're a weird pair. We kind of expect Lulu to run away to join the circus once she's old enough to, you know, run.

I have been a voracious reader for as long as I can remember. This blog originally started out as a book review site, but as time for actually sitting down and reading has dwindled, it's become more of a hodge podge of parenting, fashion, pop culture, photography, and whatever happens to be on my mind at a particular moment. 

I like Anne of Green Gables, punk and hardcore, Ethiopian food, Dorothy Parker, vintage clothes, big band music, poems by Robert Burns, my Canon T1i, playing the guitar and ukulele, film noir, genealogy, reality TV, bubble baths, baking, and hearing my baby laugh when I pretend to eat her feet.

I love conversing with other writers, book lovers, moms, and pretty much anybody. If you'd like to say howdy, please drop me a line at constance.reader@gmail.com.  I'd love to hear from you!
