Hi everyone.

Most of you know me as the author of ED Bites, a blog about eating disorders and recovery. I'm also a professional science/medical writer who recently graduated from Johns Hopkins University with an MA in science writing.

When I'm not blogging, I'm designing jewelry, guzzling coffee, reading (it verges on a compulsion), researching geeky subjects related to science, listening to Celtic rock, and finding new things to cook and bake.

I'm glad to see you've made your way over, Carrie. I'm kind of a book nerd, too. What's your favorite reads?

I dig pretty much anything with words!

But seeing as I'm a science writer, I like a lot of books about biology, nature writing, medical writing, etc. And the occasional book on quantum physics. Given my history, I also read a lot about psychology, psychiatry, and neurology. Fiction-wise, I tend to read more literary type fiction rather than mass market paperbacks.

I have over 500 books, and that was after I did a massive purge of all the things I didn't want to keep.

Reading verges on compulsion for me as well! I'm pretty sure it is the healthiest addiction to have (even though a bit expensive at times) ;)
