Read

I read. A lot. During lunch, before bed, in the bathtub. I have at least 25 books waiting to be read at all times. I’m a complete book hoarder, so I thought I’d put my reading to good use and weigh in on my current reads. If a book is especially riveting or a complete snooze-fest, I’ll be sure to post a proper review in the Book Worm category. I’m not claiming that these book should be included in the canon, but it’s a start.

Feel free to contact me with any book recommendations or if you have a book you’d like me to read and review on my blog. I never say no to a good book!
