Why another blog you ask?

I have always loved to read. Many an afternoon (til midnight) did I spend lost in books. The first book I remember reading on my own was "Bread and Jam for Francis" when I was in the first grade. At the time I loved to jump rope, as did Francis. I still own the copy that I read that first time.

Friends will ask me to refer them to a book when they have depleted their former list of suggestions and because I read SO much I forget what books I have read--- unless they are the unforgettables which I will make huge mention of. I decided that I need to keep some type of list of the books I read and what I felt about them. A hand written list is so common and easily misplaced amongst a desk of "art" supplies used by my un-forest friendly five year old (each of his masterpieces must have its own sheet of paper). I could have just created posts on my original blog after each book but then I would need to rummage through the archives to find past loves. So here is to another blog; not in place of but along side.

I know that you all will not agree with my thoughts on books but that is what I desire without having to wait for a book club to all be on the same page (pun intended) or to have to agree on a certain book at a certain time. This is MY LIST, in MY ORDER, and however quickly, or not so quickly, I finish.

Let the adventure begin!
