About artemis8
I live in Kansas City, MO with my husband, eight year old son, three cats, a turtle, a bearded dragon, two ferrets, and occasional caught toads or frogs.

I used to want to be a vet, but I couldn't stomach the idea of telling people their animals needed to be put to sleep. Instead I bounced around between majors and got an (almost worthless) bachelor's degree in psychology, and later earned an associate's degree in computer science.

I am now working as a software developer for a research company in Overland Park, KS where I support the web applications the users in my office use and do development using C#, ASP.Net and SQL Server. I like the people I work with.

I also work on maintaining my house and being a mommy. I volunteer at a local church's food pantry almost every Saturday. And I am a certified child passenger safety technician, which means I install car seats, which I enjoy a very much knowing kids are safer after I've checked their car seats.

You'll find most of my reviews in books, because I love children's books. I do read more books than I review, but I find children's books the easiest to review.

I lived in Los Angeles until I was 21 (with one year hidden in there living in San Francisco for school) and miss the ocean, but not the traffic, or the smog, or the higher crime rates, or the expensive living costs. Gotta admit I didn't mind never having any snow, but sometimes you just have to make sacrifices.

That's a little bit about me. Hope you find my reviews helpful and leave me comments about anything.
