It really IS my birthday today. I won't tell you how old. Let's put it this way - my daughter turned 15 two weeks ago, and my son turned 18 a week ago. Party party party. And oh how I am looking forward to my FREE Pumpkin Spice Latte today. Gimme!
Follow Friday is a weekly feature hosted by Alison Can Read and Parajunkee. It's a great way to discover new blogs and make new friends.
If you’re new to the follow Friday hop, comment and let me know, so I can stop by and check out your blog!
Q: What do you hope to accomplish with your blog? Is it to one day become an author yourself, just for fun, maybe get some online attention, or maybe something very different?
I started my blog mainly to keep track of my thoughts on books I have read and to have a place of my own to post my reviews. But I really enjoy connecting with other readers and finding new book recommendations. I have discovered so many great books from suggestions! I have discovered a ton of great bloggers who have similar tastes and I value their opinions on books. I'm just having a bit of fun here, not trying to change the world.
Giveaway time! It's my birthday and I am giving away a choice of 1 Classic Lines book with cover illustration by Sara Singh. You can choose from the following titles: Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, Emma, and Great Expectations.
