Age 30+ ... A Lifetime of Books: Welcome, and While You Wait ...

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?

For New Visitors:

Welcome to everyone who is stopping by via BEA or BBC! I hope you'll take the time to let me know you were here - just leave a comment on any post.

You can get to know me better by checking out the links just under my blog's header. You'll find some personal info in the About Me section, a list of everything I've reviewed here in Reviewed Books, and general info on read-a-longs and challenges that I'm hosting on the Upcoming Events page. Authors and publicists may also want to check out my Review Policy.

Thank you for visiting my blog today. Feel free to contact me via email with any questions. Please stay in touch by subscribing to my blog or following me on Twitter (@Age30Books). I do hope you'll come back again soon!

For Returning Friends:

If you are at BEA/BBC this week, I hope to see you there! If not, I'm sorry for all the convention chatter but I'm sure you're enjoying Armchair BEA!

While you're waiting for me to get back (because I KNOW you'll be counting down the days ...) I hope you'll enjoy the posts I've scheduled. I won't be able to respond to every comment like I usually do but I will be reading whatever you care to share. I'll also be keeping up on new blog posts using the browser on my phone but, needless to say, that makes it rather hard to comment as much as I usually do.

I get home on Saturday and I'm sure I'll have lots to tell you about when I get back, and lots of comments to share on your blogs. See you soon!
