What's in a name?

Well, this is my first blog. I'm not exactly sure what I am going to post but I will figure it out as I go along! I guess first of all I will explain the title of my blog...

To say that I love books and love to read is an understatement! I come by it honestly though. Several members of my family are avid readers, including my Mom, Jimi, Amanda, and Aunt Brenda. When I was young, Mom used to send Jimi and I to bed 30 minutes early to read. As we got older, it was an hour early. I love books. I love the way they smell (I'm convinced that heaven must smell like Barnes & Noble!). I love to buy the book in the very back that hasn't been touched. You know the one I'm talking about. The one where the spine isn't broken when you gently lift the front cover. I love to ask other people what book they are reading. I love to read different kinds of books, but my favorites are fiction, autobiographies, and books based on real-life events. I really enjoy reading legal thrillers by John Grisham and Randy Singer. Autobiographies I read are about the life of someone I admire or want to know more about. I love long books and hate to see a good book end. I love to curl up with a good book at the end of my day.

Thanks, Mom, for passing your love of reading on to Jimi and I. It really has been a gift!
