Book Love!

   I love to read books!  Any kind of book really, it makes no difference to me as long as it grabs my attention and has a good story line.  I also like some depth in the characters, not just some description on a page but somehow it has to come to life for me.  If it doesn't, I'm not going to enjoy it.  I first started reading as a child, so that I could receive free pizza!  I LOVE food!  I read anything I could get my hands on, including non-fiction.  I learned, however, that pizza was not needed to entice me to read.  
   My first favorite author, and still to this day stands, was Stephen King.  I picked up a book my sister left lying around, and I couldn't put it down.  I read that book so many times, and I still to this day get the urge to pick it up and read it again!  It was "The Stand".  The most amazing thing I had ever read!  
   It seems that my love for reading has only increased since then.  I have anywhere from three to five books going at any given time.  Some of them are ARCs I am going to review for authors, some just a randomly selected book I have been meaning to read.  And lets not forget the audible books, which i love to listen to when I'm driving alone, or while I am painting the house, or just doing normal chores.  At this time I have "The Count of Monte Cristo" by Alexandre Dumas, "The Exception" (Audible) by Adriana Locke, "Stalker" (ARC) by Clarissa Wild, and "Lover Awakened (Black Dagger Brotherhood, #3)" by J.R. Ward, all open.  I know some people can't read that many at once, and some don't understand why I do, but I just get carried away!  It helps that I can remember which characters and story lines belong to which book, too.  
   I plan to post reviews to this blog, along with many other things that strike my fancy!
