About Me

I have always enjoyed reading.  I can remember being in grade school and loving books. My parents have told me I loved to read at a young age. Once high school came my love of reading for fun dwindled significantly. I didn't enjoy it anymore because of the books I was forced to read for schoolwork. So my love of reading has come in waves and seasons. When I got married and had kids I dabbled back in some books but reading was still very much on and off again.

Sometime in 2006, my dearest friend (who LOVED reading) suggested I read a book that was the “big” YA book series at the time. It was then that I seriously got back into reading fiction. She promised I’d love it based on our similar taste in TV shows. So, I borrowed her book and sat down to read. 500 pages and 2 days later I was in love with reading again. 

I haven’t stopped yet, though the seasons of actively reading have come and gone. Since that book series in 2006, I have continued to read and in late 2011 started rating books on Goodreads. Some books take up more of my time than others and some books I put down and go a month before picking back up. The majority of books will take me several months to complete. 

I’m married to my best friend of over 25 years, the Mom of 2 wonderful (now adult and married) kids, a Mimi to my grand-angels, and an elementary school administrative assistant. All of that boils down to the fact that the time I have available to devote to reading is much less than in previous years when I began this blog and reviewing books is even less. This season of life is limiting my desire to read and blog. Reading helps me to relax, and I never want to give up that hobby fully. This blog was created as a way for me to chronicle the books I’m reading in a fun and enjoyable way. Perhaps one day I'll become active in it once again.
