Why am I starting a book blog?




I am an avid reader. I've loved to read since I was a little girl and try to pass that love of reading to others. When I finish a book and love it, I tell everyone I know about it. Then I thought why not have a blog of all the books I read and rate them as I go. Then I can give my blog address out to everyone I know. I hope you come along for the ride. I'm sure we won't always agree on what we like but I hope maybe I can save some people time on what to read. Feel free to write comments after I blog, I would love to hear what you thought of the book. Happy reading!!!

Shanghai Girls by Lisa See

I read this book a few months ago and fell in love with it. It's about two sisters May and Pearl who live in Hong Kong in 1937. Their father has a terrible gambling debt and marries them off to American men... this is just how the book starts. I truly enjoyed the writing and the development of the characters. I have a sister who I adore so for me it's always a treat to read about sisters. But even if you don't have a sister, everyone has a friend, mother or family member they feel close to. I had the pleasure of meeting the author in Petaluma. My godmother and I went together. She was a wonderful, witty speaker. The best part is there's going to be a sequel. I highly recommend picking this up. Let me know what you think!

    So far so good, I'm on page 89 & I am scared for them. They've been through so much already!
