Books
I read across the board, from the Bible to cookbooks and some non-fiction but prefer romance; historical, contemporary, Category, inspirational.
Heroes
My heroes are Jesus, for keeping me on the right path in life. My daughters and my husband who have the fortitude to put up with me.
I am a retired chef who still loves to cook and a very prolific reader since my early “tweens” when my big brother introduced me to Little Women. Though my preferences usually run to historical and contemporary romance, I read across the board from the Bible, cookbooks, the classics, and all manner of fiction. I have such a large library, it has taken over my house, but can't imagine not having my beloved books around me.
I welcome recommendations from authors and other romance lovers and relish the opportunity to make recommendations through my reviewing. I began pursuing a position as a book reviewer about five years ago when I realized I wanted to tell others about the books I read. The message boards on various sites provided an outlet for a time, but just didn’t seem to really fulfill what I wanted to do in my reviewing; share my great love of books. Today, I am happy to say I have joined several “families” of amazing people who share the same passion for books that I do. If I can make a difference in a person’s view of reading, or share the emotional connection I have found through books, I will die a very happy woman.
To me, there is nothing more satisfying than sharing a fabulous meal with friends and talking about books. I have added significantly to my To Be Read “room” through the years, and I take great pleasure in discovering new authors, trying new genres and talking about the books I read. As my favorite saying goes: As Long As I Am Able To Read, I Shall Always Be Free. There was never a more appropriate statement to describe my love of books.
