I created this blog in 2014 because people requested that I start one. It's now 2024, and this little challenge is still going strong! Reading has been the thing I've been the most passionate about, with writing a close second. I'm incredibly excited that the internet gives me a venue to combine both.
I started reading and writing at a very young age. My mother instilled a love of both in me as soon as possible, which I'm incredibly grateful for. They've both gotten me through a lot of my life experiences. I will read just about anything I can get my hands on. My favorite genres include Paranormal, Science Fiction, Historical Fiction, Romance, and Fantasy. The love of writing comes and goes, but I have ten works in progress. Maybe another blogger will be reviewing one of my books. A girl can hope, right?
Outside of reading, I am an overachiever with three degrees. I love taking nature photography and watching football. I'm an avid Patriots fan, but I also just love to watch a good game. If I'm watching something other than football, it is probably a random Fantasy Show like Doctor Who or something in the goth/horror realm of entertainment.
A note about my reviews and anything I say. I try to be helpful and constructive. I'm also often brutally honest and a bit sarcastic (okay... I'm really sarcastic). It's a fine line when talking about whether or not I enjoyed something and being mean. So, if my posts ever come across as hurtful, please know that is not my intention, and I do try to keep myself in the zone of being constructive. I've had this blog for a long time at this point and have done some growing up since then. I'm better about filtering my thoughts than I was in my mid-twenties, but I still have a long way to go. I also try to stay away from talking about political or controversial topics on my blog. It's not that I don't care or have an opinion, but life is already oversaturated with it. This blog is the one place where I can get away from that, control the content, and escape. This is the one place where I can talk about one of my biggest passions to my heart's content- books. If you desperately need to know my thoughts on any controversial subject, they can be boiled down to this: I want people to be happy, healthy, and feel comfortable and safe in their own lives.
