My Story...

Well Hello! Welcome to my tiny corner in the blogoshpere where I plan on sharing my favorite books with you, a bit of life, and a giant dose of humor. Feel free to leave comments whether they pertain to the post or you just need somewhere to put your thoughts! I want it all!

Lets talk a bit about me....I am a twenty-something married small town girl with a love of all things coffee, books, and my dogchild. I have a fabulous husband and an impressive network of the most amazing gal pals a girl could ever ask for.  I went to a small college in Upstate NY where I obtained a B.S. degree in Accounting. In the fall of 2011, my husband and I packed up our meager belongings and precious pooch and headed south. We now reside in the classy city of Charlotte, NC and are having a blast living life!

Now, let's talk about my obsession with books...... Honestly, I think obsession is putting things mildly. This morning, for example, I set my alarm for 4am to finish reading this excellent book that I just couldn't bare to put down. I have always been an avid reader and hope to some day write. My reading addiction began in high-school with late night readings of Harry Potter and finishing The Deathly Hollows in a little over 24 hours. In college I took the fated plunge into my first historical romance and haven't looked back! I remember my first novel well. It was a hot summer day and I had nothing but time on my hands (Oh how I long for those carefree days before student loan payments and grown up jobs!) I wandered into the garage and up our rickety stairs into the stale, hot air of our second floor which was mostly used for storage. Digging through some boxes of my moms stuff, I pulled out a copy of "While Passion Sleeps" by Shirlee Busbee. I tucked the worn paper volume under my arm and escaped into our cool basement to explore the yellowing pages. I WAS HOOKED! From that point forward I always had a book close by. My friends in college always knew they would find me holed up in my room or some corner of the library reading for pleasure, don't judge, I bet we can all agree that accounting text books are SO boring! When I met my husband or, more accurately, my future mother-in-law my addition soared to an all time high. My lovely MIL, as I like to call her, has the best job in the world as a director of her public library. After the initial early stages of dating awkwardness was passed, we realized we shared a love of romance and, more importantly, romance novels. Ladies, I had found my "dealer". She would smuggle me bags and boxes full of books! I was on cloud 9! It only got worse when my husband bought me my first kindle. The rest, as they say, is history!! I am excited to share with you all a few of my favorites and my thoughts! I hope you enjoy and stop in frequently to visit this bookworm who will always have a book and a cup of coffee!
