Age 30+ ... A Lifetime of Books: On Hiatus

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?

On Hiatus

Let's just make this official: I'm on a blog hiatus. Winter seems to be a crazy busy time of year at my house, what with Kiddo's hockey games, big Scouting events, missing school for snow, and illnesses that don't seem to want to go away. Plus I haven't really been motivated to read much lately. So rather than ignoring my blog I'm going to take an official break until sometime in Feb. (or maybe March?). I'm still reading blogs whenever I can so even if you don't see me commenting I AM still around. Happy winter to everyone!
