Melissa's Eclectic Bookshelf: About Me

Brief Bio:

Hi I'm Melissa! I’m a 30-something Vegetarian, Nature Lover, Animal Lover, Book Lover, Blogger & Reviewer. I live with my husband and kitty Piper in central New Jersey. I work 9-5 but can’t wait for evening and weekends to hang out with my family and friends, husband, and cat. I also love to get out, enjoy, and photograph the beauty of our natural world every chance I get. I was pretty green before it was cool to be so and am still trying to improve myself every day. I’m also a voracious reader…and love to curl up with a cup of tea, my cat and almost anything printed that I can lay my hands upon.
