It is a feminized version of the phrase come libro aperto, which is Italian for the cliche "like an open book." My paternal grandmother made it up for me as nickname.
Sometimes it was used derisively, for those nights when I couldn't keep my opinions to myself in the presence of mixed company; other times, it was a compliment for being able to absorb and share new information.
What more appropriate a name for a blog?
As a scientific, technical and medical (STM) journals publishing professional, it is both my profession and my passion to be informed about and share the latest research as well as advancements in the publishing field itself.
Off the clock, I enjoy adventures in the natural world (hiking, skiing, kayaking), the imaginary world of table-top and video RPGs, and epicurean quests in and outside my own kitchen-- all of which I hope to share with you here.
I will also provide commentary on the latest social, political and popular trends... but as sparingly as I would use habaneros in a stew.
