Just a quick note to say I'm back from the beach. I have 143 unread emails and 413 unread blog posts in my Google Reader. So much for 3 days without internet!
I'll be quite busy getting unpacked here at home and also caught up at work but I hope to get a book review or two posted shortly. I'll also be posting over on my book club's blog with a recap of our meeting Thursday night. Thanks for your patience - I should be back to my daily posts shortly!
And just a reminder for my local readers that the Baltimore Book Festival is THIS WEEKEND! I'll be there every day and my panel is on Sunday morning at 11am. Please let me know if you'll be there - I'd love to meet you!
What began as a record of everything I read for one year quickly turned into a place to connect with other book lovers over our shared passion. I'm so glad that I discovered the book blogging world! Please visit as often as you like, and feel free to chime in with your opinions any time.

Who AM I?
That's a good question ... I'm a daughter, a wife, a mother, a sister, a friend ... and there's so much more! But for the purpose of this blog I am a first and foremost a reader.
When I was in the first grade I read The Hobbit and my love of Fantasy took root. By the time I left elementary school I had completed the entire series as well as The Belgariad by David Eddings. Seventh grade brought me the beginning of Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time series ... which is still not complete. High school and college introduced me to the classics and to history. My reading disappeared for several years when I had a child. Then I started a book club and it came back in full force.
Today I read anything that catches my eye ... at the moment that includes historical fiction, fantasy, literary fiction, and any titles I find interesting. I'm always on the lookout for the next great find ... any suggestions?
