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!

2nds Challenge 2012 (FINISHED)

ETA: I'm officially finished this challenge as I signed up for the first level to read 3 books and have completed that.  I will now consider the challenge completed, however, I will continue on and see how far I can move up through the levels.  Books read listed below.

This challenge is hosted by Katy and sign-ups are here.  A year long challenge to read either 2nd books in series or second books by authors you've only read once.  This easily fits in with my goals and I already see books on my shelves that fit the bill. 

These are the levels:
  • Just a spoonful - Read 3 books that are 2nd in a series or the second time you’ve read the author.
  • A few more bites - Read 6 books that are 2nd in a series or the second time you’ve read the author.
  • A full plate - Read 12 books that are 2nd in a series or the second time you’ve read the author.
  • All you can eat - Read 20 books (or more) that are 2nd in a series or the second time you’ve read the author.
I'll choose Just a spoonful to start with and read three as my main goal but we'll see if I can move up to higher levels.

Post reviews here.
