About Me

I smell books...literally. Its a little something I picked up from my dad after watching him choose one of his leather bound and gold leafed classics off the shelf, rub the outside cover, open to the very middle pages and inhale deeply the smell from the book. It's a trait I hope to pass onto my own kids someday, a piece of my history.

As a little girl my favorite things were not dolls, clothes, or even trying on make up...it was the shelves of stories that I would read over and over again. If I was bad, oh please send me to my room! And there I could spend hours just reading, escaping to my own world of imagination, sitting on my Holly Hobby bedspread and watching the Cherry Blossoms dancing outside my window.

As an adult, I still have a passion to read and I've decided keeping a book blog was a great outlet for my thoughts on books and connect with others who share this same passion.
