I’m a reader. I’ve always been a reader. There were countless nights when I was a kid where my mom would find me — way past my bedtime — huddled under the covers, with a book and little flashlight in hand. I loved getting the Scholastic Book Club newsletter each month in school. I’m pretty positive that my love for romance novels began with those dang Sweet Valley High twins and the Wildfire YA books, waaaay before I had any idea what YA meant. (I wish I knew what happened to my dog-eared copy of Loving That O’Connor Boy. Sigh.)
It really didn’t surprise many who knew me that I majored in English Lit in college. Twenty years later, I’m still trying to “find the time” to write that romance novel I had grand plans to pen. Until then, I spend my days working as an editor for a national consumer magazine, my evenings being a wife and mom — and my nights? I still spend those huddled under the covers, reading. Except now, I traded in my dog-eared paperbacks for a Kindle with a built-in backlight, so I don’t need to juggle my book and the flashlight.
I not only love to read, but in the past year or so, realized how much I love to review the books that I’ve read. As I’ve watched my Amazon and Goodreads profiles grow longer and longer, I’ve been toying around with the idea of giving this book blogging thing a try. Tonight, my friends, I bit the bullet.
So there you have it. Welcome, friends, to Sunny Shelly Reads.
