Age 30+ ... A Lifetime of Books: Contest Winners

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?

I never officially announced the winner of the contest for THE EYE OF THE WORLD by Robert Jordan. Congrats to Kelly in Pennsylvania! She should have received the book by now ... I hope she's enjoying it.

The winner of the contest for SHANGHAI GIRLS by Lisa See is Chip of Mommy of 1 and Counting. Once I have your address the book will be on it's way to you. I hope you like it!
