“Some books should be tasted, some devoured, but only a few should be chewed and digested thoroughly.”
― Cornelia Funke, Inkheart
I was keeping a list of all the books I devoured read here. Then I discovered GoodReads ::que singing angels:: and my life was immensely simplified. If you want to know what I'm reading, what I loved, and what you should leave on the shelves, check out my GoodReads profile here.

“Some books should be tasted, some devoured, but only a few should be chewed and digested thoroughly.”
― Cornelia Funke, Inkheart
Sometimes a book is just so compelling I must write a review. Sometimes an over-hyped book simple stinks and I feel it's only fair to let you know. Sometimes I just want everyone to fall in love with a book as much as I have.
I read. I write. I share.
I review books on this blog and also on Bookshelf Bombshells.com.{If you haven't checked out that site you totally should. Go now. I'll wait.}
I'm also a member of the She Reads Blog Network. Each month I review the She Reads Book Clubs Featured selection. They have excellent taste. Check them out.
