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!

What are YOU reading????

UP AND COMING REVIEWS AND READS.....

Hi, I just wanted to apologize for sometimes taking so long in between posts and then dumping a bunch on you at once.  Life just gets in the way.  Oh to spend all my time on updating things on the computer, right?

But no, there's parenting and working full time and then, of course, there is the actual reading of the books that I am reviewing.  But that, my friends, is my favorite part!!!!

Currently, I am reading or I have on my list to read, or I am finished reading but have yet to review::::::

I Am Number Four by Pittacus Lore (read...review almost finished)
Salem's Lot by Stephen King (read...review next in line...an oldie but a goodie!!!!)
The Power of Six by Pittacus Lore (the next in line to the above)
Cold Mountain by Charles Frazier (hoping to read it soon)
Tara Road by Maeve Binchy (Just started reading...was in Oprah's Book Club)
Pirate Latitudes and Air Frame and Congo all by Michael Crichton


I will also be picking back up with a few Janet Evanovich's as she is in the high teens with Stephanie Plum and I am on #7 or 8 so I have to catch up!!!!  I also plan on reading a few children's books and I'll get as many teen books in there as I can.  Feel free to read along and also to send suggestions!

For my personal enjoyment, I am rereading some classics like The Swiss Family Robinson (my favorite when I was just a child).  I have no business rating any of the classics of course and will not do so but I will let you know that I am reading them and what I liked and didn't like about them.  Charles Dickens is always a favorite.

I'd love to hear what you are reading as well.

Happy Reading!!!!

Best,
Karen
