Hello fellow book lovers! This is my first blog post ever. I never had any desire to start a blog post. I mean, who wants to waste time writing personal things for the world to read and inevitably criticize?! Then why start now, you ask? My husband enjoys his blog, and I need a new hobby. If no one reads it, then I'll consider it an opportunity to hone my writing skills.
Why then, books? I have always loved to read. I love books, love the way they smell (even the funky-smelling library books), love the way they feel in my hands (an upcoming post will discuss how this love coexists with my Kindle), love the way they transport me somewhere else for a short time.
The purpose of this blog is to discuss books I am reading, have read, and want to read. These won't be reviews per se, just my initial reactions plus likes and dislikes.
What this blog will NOT do: resemble an English lit class; contain boring essays on themes/motifs/blah blah blah; attempt to impress you with my large vocabulary.
I just want to talk about what is good, bad, annoying, funny, silly, heartbreaking, etc. Sounds easy, right?
I am also hoping that this blog will force me to branch out to books I don't normally read, like memoirs, biographies, and science fiction.
Some upcoming posts will also include the topics such as books adapted to TV/movies, which books to read depending upon your mood, and bargain books.
