Hi, Anne here. Or you can call me Annabelle, or Annie, or whatever name you like. My wife calls me Anneberger, or "Berg" for short. I'll answer to just about any nickname people give me, provided it isn't mean.

My wife is T. We've been living together since June of 2006, married since October 25th, 2008. We live in Chicago with our three cats, who are either adorable and lovely or one broken glass away from being made into pairs of fuzzy gloves, depending on the day. (Note to animal lovers: I would never actually make the cats into gloves. They would make much better hats or scarves.)

In my spare time I craft, sew, hang out with my wife, watch sports on TV (baseball and football, and soccer when the wife makes me), and read a lot. I tend to get "stuck" in a particular genere before I move on to something completely different. Besides blogging at annabellespeaks.com, I tweet what I am reading at twitter.com/annabelle_reads and I tweet everything else of interest (and a lot of boring things) at twitter.com/Annabelle_me.
