Where have I been? I have blogging about my dogs for a couple of years, but who knew people blogged about books! Mostly it has been therapy for me because lets face it, I live in a small three bedroom ranch with a husband, a toddler, 3 border collies, and 3 cats. Who wouldn't be crazy? Still life has so much to offer, and I can never say no to something of interest, so while I now teach part time at an university in the city, I also work with a goose chasing company (hey, when you have border collies you find yourself doing crazy things). I also work as a dog trainer because when you adopt all rescue border collies, you learn A LOT about training a dog. :) So with that, I still am amazed at all the book blogs I have recently found on the internet! I can't wait (although I am feeling a little overwhelmed) to get started. Are there any book blogging mentors out there? I think I need one.
I don't remember not reading and loving books. When I was little I use to takes piles of them to bed with me, and during the course of the night, they would one by one hit the floor. Nice little surprise for my parents that sleep under me. With this love, I ended up teaching high school English, which does not do much for ones love of reading. I had little time, and kids passionately HATED many of the books that I loved. It was sad; although I must say I loved teaching high school. I miss it... a lot.
I am now at a point in my life where I busier than ever (see above paragraph about kid, pets, husband, and part time jobs), and it would be easy to putting reading aside. Hey, I already did that with running. :) Anyway, I hope blogging is what I need to help me hang on to my love.

I know what you mean! I've been online in one form or another since about 1988 and every once in a while I start to feel like I've seen everything there is to see (I've hit the end of the internet!). Then, I turn a corner and find a vast community that I never knew existed. It's a bit like opening the door to the Tardis :-).
Anyway, I'm a new book blogger, too. When I started my blog, I thought I was being original - ha! I should have remembered that there are no new ideas under the sun. I was struggling a little with mine but now I feel like I have a better sense of what to write after reading a few other book blogs. Good luck!
