Bio:
I am a retired chef who still loves to cook and a very prolific reader since my early “tweens” when my big brother introduced me to Little Women. Though my preferences usually run to historical and contemporary romance, I read across the board from the Bible, cookbooks, the classics, and all manner of fiction. I have such a large library, it has taken over my house, at which point my husband states we will never be able to move all of these books if we have to relocate.

I am always excited to try recommendations from authors and other romance lovers and relish the opportunity to make recommendations through my reviewing. I began pursuing a position as a book reviewer about five years ago when I realized I wanted to tell others about the books I read. The message boards on various sites provided an outlet for a time, but just didn’t seem to really fulfill what I wanted to do in my reviewing; share my great love of books. Today, I am happy to say I have joined several “families” of amazing people who share the same passion for books that I do. If I can make a difference in a person’s view of reading, or share the emotional connection I have found through books, I will die a very happy woman.

To me, there is nothing more satisfying than sharing a fabulous meal with friends and talking about books. I have added significantly to my To Be Read “room” through the years, and I take great pleasure in discovering new authors, trying new genres and talking about the books I read. As my favorite saying goes: As Long As I Am Able To Read, I Shall Always Be Free. There was never a more appropriate statement to describe my love of books.
