Book Lover

I have always loved to curl up on a couch or in my bed with a good book.  When I was younger, I devoured series of books like The Babysitter's Club and Sweet Valley High.  As I got older, I began reading more stand alone books.  I developed a love for the classics like Jane Eyre and Pride and Prejudice.  My love of reading eventually led me to become an English major and subsequently a high school English teacher.  I became engrossed in reading new books by authors such as Nicholas Sparks and Jodi Picoult.  I always pre-order novels by Kristin Hannah and Elin Hilderbrand and lose myself in their worlds they create.

After reading 50 Shades of Grey, I became instantly hooked on the New Adult genre that has recently come out.  I find myself now dabbling in that genre as well as contemporary  fiction and novels set in WWII and Prohibition. 

While I always rate my books on GoodReads, I don't always review them.  I am hoping this blog will become an outlet for me to review books in an honest, open way.  I also hope I can help others develop an affinity for reading and find new books to read based on my reviews.

Happy Reading!
