From Conception to Arrival…The Birth of Blog for Books

Yes, I know the title is very creative, but I have to say though--it gets the point across. So, the conception of this little blog began at Christmas time. My sister in law, Kendee, mentioned something about always looking for a good book to read. My other sister in law, Sarah, called me asking for a good book to by for my mother-in-law for Christmas.

I started thinking, “wouldn’t it be nice if there was a place to share good recommendations?” The idea snowballed from there to include the widget on our regular blog of books I’m currently reading. This, however, didn’t seem quite good enough. I wanted to actually have an opinion about the books I’m reading.

Thus, I decided to create a new blog solely for the purpose of reading, discussing, and reviewing the books that are currently on my bookshelf. I know that not everyone is really going to care about what I’m reading, but the truth is: I care. And, honestly, that’s all that really matters out there in blog-land. So, whether you’re just stopping by to appreciate my super awesome header, whether you got lost on the way to a better blog, or whether you intentionally, actually want some good recommendations for books just keep reading this blog!

Yay! I love book blogs. I have a link to my friend Janssen (she dated Carl up at BYU, by the way) on my blog. She often reviews books she's reading.

Great idea.

How exciting! Adding you to my bloglines subscription. I do a bit of book talk/book reviewing on my multi-purpose blog.
