This month my book club tried something completely different: graphic memoirs. I tell you how it turned out in my regular monthly post at Reading Group Guides so come check it 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?

Graphic memoirs...really...hmm. Definitely have to see THAT post... *clicks link*
Great post Heather, and an awesome list of books! I want to read all of the ones I haven't read yet. It's also cool that your club really enjoyed reading them - it's fun when more people can get into comics and see what a cool and sophisticated format it can be.
GMR - Hope you enjoyed checking it out!
Kim - It was definitely a revelation for several members, that's for sure. LOL Which from that list have you really enjoyed?
