More Than You Wanted To Know About Me
I read a blog post recently debating whether or not personal posts should be included on book blogs. People seemed to come down strongly on one side or the other. Either they wanted book posts and nothing but book posts or they enjoyed the posts that let them get a glimpse into the personality behind the blog. I am firmly in the personality behind the blog club. I like to read about books but I am also insatiably curious about people.

This is my place to be me, to write my thoughts, and to ramble on aimlessly when I feel like it, but a little more information about me might be nice. I think all you know about me so far is that I love books, I have a husband and children, and I am going to London in April. (Hurray! I will mention that at every opportunity. Sorry.)
