About Me

Hi! My name is Ti, which is short for Tina but everyone calls me Ti. I’m a mom to two kids (three if you count my husband). I work full-time as a technical writer. Life can be a bit hectic at times but one thing that grounds me, is reading!!

I started this blog in February 2008 as a way to record my bookish thoughts. However, I was urged by friends to also include personal stories, etc. As I said, my life is hectic and things tend to happen to me. Sometimes, that makes for interesting reading. Hence the name Book Chatter and other stuff… along with books, you will read about a lot of “other stuff.” Fun stuff mostly. Okay, a few rants. No one is perfect!
