From the time I was a little girl to now as an adult, I have always loved to read. Books bring me joy and help me to connect to others. Books have allowed me insight into other people’s lives and it has allowed me to travel to miraculous places from my couch. Books have brought me closer to people in my life and they have allowed me to connect with people I’ve never even met.
Here you will find a list of books that I have read, and hopefully the reviews that I will continue to write. (I had a previous blog where I had written many more reviews. Feel free to visit Adventures of A Book Addict for my older reviews.)
