If you have found this page, then chances are that you know the joy of curling up in a quiet corner chair with your favorite lap blanket, a good cup of tea, and a book who is no less a friend to you than the person you call when its 11 pm and you just want to talk to someone.

If you know that feeling, then you quite probably also know the sadness of finishing an amazing book and wondering if the next book you read will leave you as satisfied. Or the disappointment of reading an entire book only to realize at the end that you feel nothing for the characters, the story, or the author and you just wasted hours of your life you can't get back.

I have a love of reading. Since I discovered Laura Ingalls Wilder at the ripe age of 5, I have devoured every literary work I could get my hands on. Despite High School and College Reading classes, I have maintained my love for reading and it is only now that I am out of school that I realize I MISS reading assignments, because they were an excuse to clear the clutter off the corner chair, sit down and read a book without feeling that there were other things that needed to be attended to.

So I am writing this to you, as a friend. When I read a book, I will post my opinions, and please be aware that they are just that. I will probably also mention if they have a happy ending or not, because there is nothing I hate worse than a poor ending. If you disagree with me, please feel free to post. Opening a dialogue about reading is one of my favorite things!

If you have a book you would like to share or see on here, well, by all means contact me! I do NOT read anything crude or vulgar. I really enjoy history books, religious books, books of poetry, juvenile literature, well written and creative fantasies, biographies, and just straight fiction. My first love will always be fairy tales.

With that in mind, my first review will be of the new book from Jessica Day George, from SLC, UT. Below you will find my first attempt at a book review and hopefully a new friend to acquire for your library and curl up with when you have the time.
