Happily I have been pre-reviewing some of my favorite authors work prior to their publishing.
Advanced Reader Copy is right up my alley. I am considering sharing my reviews with my er..ahem..audience. I know damned well that there are not many who are viewing my blog these days as there is little drama to be found, and I lead a boring life, not much to talk about. I am an avid reader, sometimes 2 books a day. I am quite happy with being a Kindle Unlimited member, it has taken the place of me traveling to (now almost nonexistent) bookstores and going orgasmic at the selections. Anywhere there were books I had to look for the next great read.
I started out my reading addiction at an early age, likely due to my mom being the same. So after absorbing the Betsy and Billy books, and the Little House series, I quickly moved onto more adult reading. My mother subscribed to Readers Digest Condensed books. So I read whatever appealed to me. I can remember actually using a dictionary when I read Blatty's The Exorcist at 14 years of age. At 13 I discovered romance novels, Kathleen Woodwiss , The Flame and the Flower. I've read and enjoyed fantasy, romance, science fiction, historicals, biographies, and horror. I big time avoid political books, and the celebrity of the moment stories. I get enough real life reading the news. Don't get me started, you won't appreciate the rant that will ensue.
So, if I could have a show of hands supporting a blog page of book reviews I would greatly appreciate it. I know, don't hold my breath, they will find a very blue lump of human when I don't pay my rent on time.
My own quote on reading: Reading is taking a mind vacation, it can take you anywhere your imagination can go.

Update: Today I received a request to participate in book reviews from a group called Book Sirens. They post on both Goodreads and Amazon. I applied and will fill you all in on my possible new adventures. Wish me luck!
