National Book Lovers Day

ImageI am writing this in honor of National Book Lovers Day. The pic is of what books I have been able to purchase since losing my entire collection in an arson fire (my collection, along with my home). It was a hard time and I am still getting over it, but the first thing I went to buy back were as many discounted/used books as money would allow.

I love books, I love to read and I love to write. I run this blog to write book reviews and give author interviews because I want to share the love of words with everyone I possibly can,

If you are an indie author, i want to get your name out there! If you are an established author, I want to post about how you influenced my life.

Since starting this blog, working with Dark Media Online and Books Make Me Happy, I have been blessed to be able to interact with authors who shaped my teen and adult years like Darren Shan, Terri Garey and Ellen Schreiber, plus more! I never once thought I would be able to have these oppoerunities to speak with, review and interview these people who inspired me.

Now, I want to inspire YOU. Get out there, buy a new book, discover a new author, get the word out there about your own work...just do something to help spread the love of words we all have here.

I started reading at about 2 and a half years old, no joke. I loved being read to as a kid. I started writing when I was eight years old, but composed my first poem at the age of three. By 14 I had finished a manuscript. Words--be they poetry, lyrics or especially books--have always been my refuge along with God.

I love that people are LIKING my posts on all the sites of which I am a part. It means a lot to have my appreciation of art appreciated by other art lovers. Thank you all.

  1. What a great post for National Book Lovers Day! It must have been so heart breaking to lose everything like that. I always enjoy reading your blog and your reviews. I remember being able to read at a very early age as well, I love reading books, especially Sci-Fi and Horror. Thank you for sharing your great reviews and interviews.

  2. Awww! Thank you so much for your kind words: they made my day! It was hard, the emotional damage is extensive, but I thank God my mom & I survived. I'm glad I can share the love of the written word! :)
