Lets get started

As anyone who knows me can tell you, I LOVE READING.  It is my biggest passion.  One of my greatest pleasures is to curl up with a good book. As a teenager, I was the only one in my circle of friends who visited the library because I actually wanted to, not because I had to.  I've been teased about my love for books.  Bookworm, nerd, you name it, I've been called it.  And that's OK.  I don't mind a bit!

It was my oldest sister who first got me into reading.  She started reading bedtime stories to me when I was around 8.  The books she read?  The Little House On The Prairie books.  I loved listening to the description of pioneer life.  To this day, Laura Ingalls Wilder is one of my favorite authors, and I own her books and read them still.  
      
I'll read just about anything.  Give me a good story and I'm one happy girl.  Luckily for me, my wonderful man and kids take it in stride and understand when Mom has her nose stuck in a book again.  A few of my favorite authors are Stephen King, Nora Roberts, Victoria Alexander, Jim Butcher, Jean Auel, and Barbara Taylor Bradford. I used to annoy the owner at my once favorite bookstore (which closed a while ago) because I had already read a lot of books or authors that he would recommend to me!  It was his goal to try to find new authors for me, and it made his day whenever he came up with one.  I really miss that store.

Finding a good book is always a wonderful thing for me.  That's why I'm here!  I want to spread my love of reading.  I want to know what books you, my wonderful followers, like to read too.  I enjoy discussing books as much as reading them.  I will be reviewing the books I read here.  You will also find links to great chairs to read in, lamps to read by, and lots of other book paraphernalia, as I call it.  My definition of book paraphernalia is anything that makes reading more enjoyable, so there will be a lot of different items to look at.

I hope you enjoy my site!  Leave comments to tell me what you think would be good, or just to say hi, or anything that might make this a more enjoyable experience for you.  And don't forget to tell your friends about my site too! :)
