About the blog

Hi!

The name is Stephanie (or Stevie if you're paying attention to the blog title) and I am finally starting my book blog!

I know, you're thinking "ugh, not another book blogger" and I don't blame you at all.  I do plan on being different and not just doing a constant stream of book reviews.  I want to share my love of reading with you and hopefully inspire you to pick up more books yourself.

I haven't always been a reader, to be completely honest, there was a time when I dreaded reading.  In school I always skimmed books I was supposed to read fully, and kind of fluffed my way through all the tests and that got me by. Don't look at me like that, we've all used a Spark Note or two!  Reading never seemed "fun" to me, just something I had to do for my classes.

All of those feelings changed when I found Harry Potter, then the Twilight saga and realized I did like reading more than I thought I did. I spent many nights in my room reading all night to find out what happened next to Harry, Hermione, and Ron. I can not tell you how many tears I shed during that whole series, but I would not change a thing.


So please, give me a chance to ignite a love for reading within you.
