I Smell Books

Friday, June 5, 2009

I got two new ARC's in the mail this week and I'M FREAKING OUT!!! Excited freak out, not bad freak out.

I can't wait to get started on them, cause they both look fabulous :-)

First, Bloomsbury sent me "The Actor and the Housewife" by Shannon Hale. For more info you can visit the author's website here.

Then the second book I recieved yesterday was through GoodReads.com, "I Apologize" by Bradley Booth. And the cherry on top? The author autographed the inside with a sweet note :-)

I have a strong feeling this one is going to rock my world. For more info, you can click here.

I can tell already, this is going to be an AWESOME summer! Ok gotta run, I have some serious reading to do!!

You read, keep track of you thoughts and share them (which you would do anyways because you are just like daddy : ) and they send you free books. I bet when you were a little girl reading on your bed that you had no idea your life was going to work out this well! : ) Love you.; June 5, 2009 at 2:26 PM

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.
