Welcome

A Bookaholic, Pro-life, Conservative, Catholic, with Asperger's, who reads a lot. These are the ramblings of the books I read or read aloud to my energetic Autistic 11yo. I love reading almost any book from classics to mysteries to fantasy to ARCs. I sometimes go through stages of "genre love", get addicted to manga and graphic novels or get caught up in reading ARCs, but you'll find I read a wide variety of books, both fiction and non-fiction. I tend to post a lot of reviews of juvenile/teen books but I still do a lot of adult reviews as well. I read well over 200 books a year, but haven't made it to 300 yet!

Monday: Books in the Mail

This last week was a fun one for my mailbox. I received 2 graphic novels for review, a book I won, and a very special book as well.

First, the special book. Jeremy Walker contacted me a while back asking my permission to quote me in a blurb on the paperback edition of his fantastic young adult novel "Saye" and I was thrilled to receive a copy of said edition. Here's my blurb, printed on the back cover:



I really encourage all YA fantasy/science fiction fans to read this book! I highly recommend it. You can read my review here.

Then I was the lucky winner at A Bookworm's World. Thanks Luanne!
