A Little Bit About Me - #2

MY LOVE OF READING

My mother instilled in me the love of reading. From the time we were little children, she used to read to us at bedtime. Since that time I read every night in bed before falling asleep. I recently saw a sign that said:

 "I don't have a bedtime, 
I have a booktime." 

That is exactly what I have!

Luckily I married a man who also loves to read. His reading schedule is kind of brutal. Each night he reads a page or two from the following: an LDS author, one of his favorite authors, a new author, Personal Come Follow Me, Primary Come Follow Me, a Church Doctrine book, The Ensign, The Book of Mormon, the German Liahona, a book in German, a science textbook, a classic, a Franklin Classic, and a book from his to-be-read pile.

As a young mother I read to my children every night. I allowed all three of them to choose a book. We would then get onto one of the beds where I would read all three stories. As they got older and wanted longer stories, I encouraged them to read after school and before they fell asleep.

I love reading and firmly believe that children should be taught how to read.

This is the book I am reading right now- 
Watch for my upcoming review.

WHY I STARTED BLOGGING

Next Monday will be my 7th blogoversary and I thought it would be fun to write about how I got started.

I was working at Deseret Book in Logan and was already reading a lot and working the many author signings. A coworker and I were friends on Goodreads and she knew that I posted my "star" ratings, but I never posted a review.

It was her encouragement that got me started in leaving reviews and from there it blossomed into a blog. I will be forever grateful to her and her love of reviewing that got me started. 

My blog is all about helping people find "good" books to read. Therefore, you will see positive reviews as I post only about the books I enjoyed.

I also consider myself more of an author promoter rather than just a reviewer. I have worked with many authors and feel blessed to know them. I am grateful for their talents in writing and want to help them be successful so they will continue writing.

I am also grateful for all my followers. Thank you for making this journey so enjoyable!
