In the beginning...

If I had a nickel for every time someone asked me what I've read lately, I'd have enough money to stay home and read all day. I really don't mind this question - I get it; I'm an English teacher - but the problem is I have a hard time remembering what I recently read. I read so much that I can't devote the brain space to memorizing the titles and authors, much less my thoughts on each book.

Enter this blog - a way to document and collect my thoughts on books I've read. Perhaps it will even improve my working memory on the subject. Either way, I hope you, my reader, find it useful. And hey, if tons of people start reading my blog, and authors start sending me advance copies of their books for my honest, thoughtful reviews, all the better. :)
