Who is Alexandria?

At barely 16 I enrolled in college as a full-time student working on my A.A in Liberal Arts, doubling on my science and math courses to accommodate my future plans of going on to earn my B.S/M.S in Quantum Physics.
I was always trying to challenge myself in school, which lead to my love of books. I began reading at only three years old and haven't stopped since. At the age of twelve I read my first Shakespeare play and fell in love. I started exploring the classics a bit more and found my forte.
I am a fan of many genres of books and will try not to limit my reviews to one category.

I have a daughter, Olivia, due in July of 2010. I am a first time mom, so expect things to be a bit slow around then as I haven't perfected that wonderful skill of multi-tasking yet. haha




Why Insomniac's Haven?
I have horrible insomnia and do 90% of my reading and writing at night. I feel I am more expressive during these hours. I remember reading a study that said most insomniacs read more than the average person because they have no other way to pass the time.


What kind of books will you review?
I plan on reviewing all types of books. I go through phases where I get really involved with one genera, then I switch to another. So you will see books about vampires and werewolves being reviewed shortly after a memoir about drugs or abuse. I will try to review a classic every so often, although I can't promise there will be many. Even though I am a huge fan of them, classics do take me longer to get through as I often spend more time reading them to assure I grasp exactly what is going on.


Happy Reading, everyone!
