Let's Get Started......

I've always loved to read. Believe it or not, I read The Hobbit when I was five. I'm sure I didn't understand everything, but that was the start of a love affair with books that continues today. Most of what I read is fiction. Books are a door into another world, sometimes slightly different than mine, sometimes completely unrecognizable.

I've noticed that most book reviews fall into two types. One type is simply a plot synopsis-the reviewer rehashes the plot and doesn't offer much insight. The other type is a critical analysis of the book as a whole. I'm hoping that most of my reviews will fall into the second category. I also will be careful of spoilers-nothing irks me more than to read a review of a book, movie, or TV show that gives away part of the story.

I'm sure I won't review every book I read. I'd like to devote some extra thought other than "this was a good book, you should read it". But as time permits, I'll keep you posted as to what I'm reading and what I thought of it.

I've done some reviews previously and posted them on my other blog, and I'll move those over along with the original review date. I'm in the middle of a book right now for which I've already started a review, so expect to see that soon.

Also, please feel free to check out my library courtesy of Library Thing. Random books from my library will be posted on this page, and if you click in you can see the rest. I'm working on inputting my books now, so not everything is out there yet.
