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!!!

Past Secrets by Cathy Kelly

Summer Street is part of a sweet little Ireland community. Behind each door are people with their own lives... and secrets. Faye has been keeping a secret from her teenage daughter Amber but Amber has her own secret from her mother and has begun to pull away. Maggie comes back to her hometown after dealing with a terrible surprise from her boyfriend and stays to help her mother with an illness while discovering a lot about herself. Christie is a happily married art teacher who is always able to help others but struggles to deal with her own secret. I enjoyed the characters and liked how the author connected everyone's story. This author has a similiar style to Maeve Binchy... made want to walk down Summer Street and meet these likable and fun characters.
