Welcome to my blog!

"The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go." -Dr. Seuss

Thanks for stopping by. I really hope that you take something away from this blog, even if it's just a book recommendation that leads you to a new series or new author that you will enjoy. I know that by keeping this blog, it's encouraging me to try new genres and to expand my horizons as far as reading new books, rereading old, and I'm even inspired to read the classics that I've missed. Because I'm a mom of four, I'll also be adding children's books into my reviews as I try to spend time reading with my kids on a regular basis. So why not review those as well and share them with you?

Books, for me, have always been great escapes. I remember being stranded on the island with the Swiss Family Robinson when I was 10 years old and it was a great place to be as I was having a rough childhood at the time. I flew away with Peter Pan and traveled with Meg through wrinkles in time, in Madeleine L'Engle's A Wrinkle in Time. Now that I mostly read 'grown up' books, I don't travel to islands but I do live in someone else's world (or mind) for a while and it's a great way to get away from it all even if for a short time every day.

Enjoy my blog and as always, happy reading!

Update on reading list

Hi, All, as you can see, I've been busy reading and reading and reading...three new posts tonight. I still have to finish Under the Dome. I only have about 25 pages left but have put finishing it on hold because it's so enjoyable, I do not want it to end. So that's a little bit (haha) of a hint on how my review will go.

I will also be reading The Secret Life of Bees and To Kill a Mockingird this week as well as a few other books that I happened to pick up at Goodwill (a great place to get books by the way).

So many books, so little time. So come back on a regular basis over the next few weeks because I'm on vacation this week and I'm on a reading roll!
