Hello fellow book lover! Welcome to my blog. Let me start by introducing myself, well sort of, I am an avid reader. That is pretty much all anyone needs to know about me for now. I love books! I have not always loved books. In my youth I hated to read. What was I thinking?! Why did I never give the written word a chance? I think I was just in too much of a hurry to slow down and appreciate the world that I could see through the pages of a good book. Now that I am older (ahem) and wiser (ok, don't ask my kids if I am wiser) I know the pleasure that is being consumed by a well written story. To be transported to another place and/or time, to meet fasinating people, to "see" every nook and cranny of this world (and others) and "taste and smell" exotic things...what's not to love? There is no comparison, as far as I am concerned, between the picture you paint in your mind as you are reading a talented author's descriptions and what happens when you watch a movie. There is a disconnect when watching a movie. Of course a movie can be very entertaining, but do you see yourself in the movie? When I read a book I weave what I see through my own mind's eye into the story and find that I can be quite creative in my own right.
So it is because of my love of fiction that I am starting this blog. My taste tends to jump around alot but I pretty much stay somewhere within the genre of romance. I'll read the occasional light romance (what I refer to as Lifetime movie versions in book form) and I can get quite drawn into historical and fantasy series'. Sometimes I want something I can read in a night or two. Sometimes I want something I can really "sink my teeth" into and stay enthralled in for a week or more. I am talking a big 1,000 page saga. So, climb aboard and see where this adventure takes us. As I get a handle on this blog and how to work the blogger program, I would like to expand it to involve my followers more and more. Enjoy the ride!
