I think that I have always enjoyed reading, or at least I cannot remember a time when I did not like it. I was born with asthma so I was limited in the number of activities I was allowed to do, and reading was a safe one for me, so I immersed myself in books from a very young age. I read all of the Bobbsey Twin books, then went on to read Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys. I shared my mother’s love of Victoria Holt and Phyllis Whitney. For a while, when I was a young wife, I read a lot of romance, including Danielle Steel and others. I now read a lot of Christian fiction, mysteries, thrillers, and some non-fiction occasionally. I read a lot of books from the library and post reviews on Goodreads. I also read for Netgalley and love to be chosen to read some of the latest books before they are available to the general public. So, I will share some reviews here as well as some of the happenings of my daily life that keep me reading as an escape. I relax with a good book and forget that I had a stroke and could die any day, or maybe not. I count my blessings daily that I have lived this long and that I have lived to see the birth of eight grandchildren and have enjoyed so many books. I am just taking one day at a time and one book at a time and loving the life that God has given me.

Reading is a true pleasure I haven’t appreciated until the last few years of my life. As a teenager, I was a good student, but I didn’t read much outside of school. Now, I read all the time.
