My goal for this blog is two-fold. One is to update it weekly with an entry about a book or library related topic. The other is to review, suggest, and comment on books that I am currently reading or have read in the past that others may enjoy.
My main area of reading interest is historical fiction though I also enjoy biographies, history, teen fiction, and mainstream fiction. Usually I read between 2-5 books a month depending on how busy I am, and I alternate between reading adult fiction, teen fiction, the classics, and nonfiction. As a resolution for 2007, I have decided to read outside of my comfort zones and select one book from a different genre to read each month. This blog will serve as a chronicle to my efforts. Enjoy!
