Tales From My Reading Nook
Hello everyone and happy Thursday! I’m always excited as the work week comes to a close, but I’m extra excited this particular Thursday. I got some book mail that I was NOT expecting and I wanted to shout it to the rooftops! I’ve also recently hauled a few other books I’m excited about, so I figured I might as well make it a post, right? With that said, let’s jump in!
Continue reading “An Exciting Book Haul!”My first WWW Wednesday! This is a tag, hosted by Taking on a World of Words, in which all you have to do is answer three questions. I discovered this through The Bibliophagist’s blog and it sounded like fun. So let’s dive in!

In an effort to read more classics, I’ve been listening to a bunch on audiobook. I’ve been listening to this one for what seems like forever, heh. It’s just so long and I keep getting distracted by other books I’d much rather be reading! That being said, it’s pretty entertaining once I get into it.
As you may have gathered from the name of this blog and my introduction, this is a place for me to ramble about books. Which means there are going to be quite a few book reviews posted here. With that in mind, I thought I’d use today’s post to talk about my rating system.

And, yes, I’m aware I just dated myself.
If you don’t count that, then this will be my first foray into putting my personal thoughts out into the ether for others to peruse. So, I figured I would introduce myself. I wear quite a few hats: I’m a medical technologist, a wife, a mother of two, and a herder of cats. (Don’t worry, there’s only a few of them… for now.) My family and I are recent transplants to the Boston, MA area from New Mexico. It’s quite a change, but I’m absolutely loving it!
