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!!!

The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls

I'd heard about this book before but didn't read it until my friend passed it on to me. All I can say is WOW! What makes this book so good is that it's real and as you're reading it you're shocked by some of the things in this book. It's about a girl Jeannette, her three siblings and parents. Pretty much the kids have to fend for themselves because their parents are so irresponsible. The father is a drunk and the mother is trying to be an artist. Meanwhile the poor kids are lucky if they eat. Sounds depressing but definitely worth the read to get find out the ending. I found myself getting attached to the kids, rooting for them wondering what was going to happen next. Definitely worth picking up.
