A beginning...

I would like to take a few minutes of your time to explain why I started this blog. Being a stay-at-home-mom is awesome and has more benefits than can be listed, in short I love it. However, when a 1-year-old is your only companion for hours on end it isn't hard to imagine that certain mental faculties get a little rusty. Anyway seeing that I needed something to stimulate the brain cells and I read a lot anyway my husband suggested I start a book review blog. I can combine two of my favorite things: reading and talking (even if it is only in text).

So even if no one reads this that's okay by me, obviously I'd like someone to read it, but I'm not here to gain a following. I'm here to work out a few neurons, talk about something I love (books), and if I entertain a few people along the way well that is just a bonus.

I'll be reviewing the books I have already read and this will give me a great excuse to go out and read a bunch of new books (yay), but they won't all be in the same genre or anything. Variety is the spice of life after all. I'd gladly take recommendations on books to read if you want to make a comment after a post. Also if I put in a plot spoiler or something I'll try to make a big notice at the top of the post, I hate when people spoil endings but sometimes it happens in a review.

I am already having a good time writing this and I hope whoever is reading this that you have as good a time reading it as I did writing it.
