About this blog...

Hi everyone!

I will start off by saying that I absolutely love to read. Unfortunately I hardly find time to read at home anymore since the birth of my son - who is now officially a toddler (queue the tears). But (there is always a but, right?) I do read during my subway commute to and from work -- which anybody who lives in New York City knows is a great way to take your mind off the crazies that ride along with you. Sometimes I'm able to figure out a way to find some extra reading time during the middle of the night if the book is extra good -- like if I'm anxious to find out what happens next.

I do know several of my friends who also enjoy a "good read". Originally I proposed a book club but it's hard to work with everyone's schedule -- most of my friends are working mothers/ wives as well.

Nine times out of ten I pick my next book based on a recommendation from a friend or co-worker. There is always the odd time when I get a recommendation from a fellow subway commuter (New Yorkers are friendlier than most people realize)… other than that I pick based upon online reviews. You can consider this blog one more spot where you can get good book recommendations. And, of course, please feel free to recommend books to me as well - I will read them and post them here for all to share.


I also want to add that I will announce each book as I start it.  This way anyone who would like to read along with me and post their own review may feel free to do so.



P.S.
Dear Grammar Police: Relax, it's just a blog!
