Why another blog

If you're reading this, you probably either know me or stumbled across my blog.  Thanks for staying long enough to read my first post.  I love to read but have eclectic tastes.  What does that mean?  Well, in this case it means that I usually have no one to discuss what marvellous or disappointing book I just read.  In 2015, I read 36 books - I'm on track to ready closer to 48 this year.   Some were quite short ( How Full is your Bucket  120 pages  by Tom Rath and Donald Clifton .  I recommend it!)  Others were long ( The Aeronaught's Windlass at 630 pages by Jim Butcher.  I haven't read a book by him I didn't like.)  Only the few I read with my book club at St. Mary of the Assumption Catholic Church (Keep it Shut,  Strange Gods,  Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World,   Nine Words , and The Hiding Place  did I get to share and discuss with anyone.

This blog will be my place to talk about the books I've read.  Don't expect any New York Times best sellers, unless they are non-fiction.  It will be heavy in the fantasy genre, including Y books ( Rick Riordan is another favorite.   I also read a few mysteries but usually nothing too gruesome.  There is already too much terrible news in the world without trying to read about it for enjoyment.

Well, my first review will be coming soon.  Just a matter of deciding which book it will be.
