Intro: Bookwormommy

My name is Julie and I am a mom of two. I have a son who's 3 (4 soon!!) and a 15 month old daughter. When I'm not taking care of them, or cleaning, or taking photos, you're very likely to find me with a book in my hands. This is my blog to keep a record of what I read...if I liked it, my thoughts, my notes to myself on whether I read the next in a series. I am very much a serial reader...that's probably not a real thing...but I do like to read books that continue. Robert Jordan, Terry Goodkind....they're heroes of mine because their stories are epic...so long and involved. I hate to say goodbye to characters. I re-read them because I don't want to let them go.

Here lately, I've been reading a lot of YA novels. I'm a 31 year old mom of two and I'm reading books that 16- and 17-year-olds favor. Oh well. A lot of novels written today for young adults fall under my preferred genres, fantasy and science fiction. I love some of the stuff I've read lately. It's really good stuff. Sometime, I'll have to make a list of the books that are some of my favorites from over the years. Here are the novels I've read this year.

I think I've left a few off because I forgot to write them down. That's kinda why I am starting this blog, to keep up with the things I've read. LOL, my memory is not that great.

I am not that good of a writer. I'm not going to write eloquent book reviews extolling the finer points of authors' expositions or berating plot holes or anything like that. I don't read to critique, I read to live it, to enjoy the story. I'll let you know if I think it's a good or great book, or crap that I couldn't finish (very rare) and maybe why, and hopefully my grammar mistakes won't be too glaringly obvious.

Well let me know if you are reading, I love comments:) And follow my blog if you'd like!
