Books-R-Me

I love books. I love to talk about books. I love to shop for books. I love to look at books.

I've had a blog for almost a year (you can link to it from the sidebar), which I thought I would use to talk about homeschooling primarily, but I have actually used to talk about all kinds of things. Books are so much a part of my life that I decided to branch out and create a blog just for dishin' on them.

I plan to have commentaries on what I'm currently reading (hopefully without major spoilers) and reading to my kids. We do A LOT of reading aloud in this family, partly because of homeschooling and partly because I just want to. Thankfully, both of my kids are turning into book-lovers too.

If you're looking for write-ups of the New York Times Best Sellers list, then you've come to the wrong place. I very, very rarely read current books. I mostly read classics and little-known gems.

One reason I wanted to do something like this is to encourage myself to branch out a little. I mostly read fiction. I would really like to dabble in some history, poetry, birographies, etc. as well. I thought having a blog about books would possibly hold me accountable for adding that variety to my book diet.

I'm sure there are other blogs of this nature. I'm not out to prove anything. I just personally needed an outlet like this. I'm sure there are other people out there who like to know about what others are reading....I hope.
