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!

The Telling Tales Reading Challenge 2012

I'm always reading fairytales and mythology, whether it be the real deal or retellings or vaguely "based upons" so this is the perfect challgenge for me. This challenge is hosted by An Armchair by the Sea and runs all year. Rather than taking the space to copy all the categories down, anything goes here. Originals, retellings, graphics and even non-fiction discussing fairytales/mythology.

I'm choosing the Mix n Match category which means I can read a combination of any of the above and I will commit to Level 2 with the hopes of progressing up the levels as the year goes on:

Level 1: Read 5 books
Level 2: Read 10 books
Level 3: Read 15 books
Level 4: Read 20 books
Level 5: Read 25 books
