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?

At first I thought you were at the beach this weekend and I was extra jealous! I wish I lived close enough to the ocean to spend a Saturday there.
What a perfect way to spend the day!
I love OCMD, I visit every year, and even lived there for a year (although the town is so different in the off season). Reading at the beach is one of my all time favorite things to do. Someday we'd like to move to Fenwick, or some place close by.
Sounds lovely!
Erin - Oh I WISH that was from this weekend! I'd love to be reading on the beach right now.
bermudaonion - I couldn't agree more.
Kate - Yeah, off-season OC is very different from summer OC, but it is still a neat place to visit - I was there once in the middle of winter, and it was quite different.
Trish - Oh it was!
Oh that looks awesome Heather! After a cold and rainy Minnesota weekend I could use a little sunshine. :)
That looks wonderful. We have had beautiful weather up until this weekend. Today we had a windy thunderstorm that dropped buckets of rain. I miss summer already.
Sheila - Glad to share! :)
Alyce - About two weeks ago we started getting chilly weather - in the mid-50s - every morning, but this past weekend it actually hit 70. WOOHOO!
Love this pic! We never did make it to the beach this year and only went camping once. Ah, well.
Anna - There's always next year! :)
