I dare say that I’m your basic, garden variety Book Worm. I love to read. You say it’s my passion and my hobby. My husband would laugh at how much I read. When I was in school, I would listen to the teacher but have a book on my lap reading.
Nowadays, my reading preferences range widely. I may read contemporary romances one day, and science fiction romances the next. Then there are the many cookbooks I check out as well.
I also post book tours as well. Why? How else am I going to find interesting books for my To-Be-Read pile!
Enjoy the posts, and hopefully you will find something like here as well.
