I know you've missed me, right?! I've been out of town for the past few weeks and am finally back home again. I've got lots of books to review and some fun stuff to share about my vacation but it will probably take a few days before I am back into the swing of things at home. I've been keeping up on all your blog posts through my phone but it was difficult to comment so I've been rather lax about that.
Just a reminder that I'm co-hosting a read-a-long of THE COLOR PURPLE by Alice Walker this month. I read the book over three days, finishing it today on the plane home. It was fantastic and I can't wait to talk about it with all the read-a-long participants. There's still plenty of time to join so pick up a copy and start reading.
I'm hoping to get some short reviews up within the next few days ... we'll see how well that plan works out!
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?
