Hard to believe, but I’ve been reviewing here since 2008. Time goes quickly when buried in a good book. And I’ve discovered many hidden gems being a reviewer for www.TeensReadToo.com. I'm a married mom with two wonderful kids, a son and a daughter. They’re growing up faster than I could ever believe. I work full-time outside the home, so when I get home, I unwind by reading once everything has quieted down. Young adult novels have come such a long way from when I was in high school {waaaay back when!} The stuff today is just as readable as adult fiction, but juggling the myriad of activities for myself and the kids, the shorter length make them idea for me. I don't know about anyone else, but when I start a good book, I try to finish it in one sitting. Call me obsessive, compulsive, addicted...whatever works. I hate not knowing how a book will turn out and try valiantly not to cheat and turn to the ending! I have an hour round trip commute for work, so to multi-task, I also listen to audiobooks. It’s a great way to “read” a book that I wouldn’t normally consider picking up. And if you find a good narrator, the stories really come alive. When not buried in a book, I also have a fondness for the movies, music {can anyone say the 80's rule??}, and board games. When all is said and done though, there's nowhere I'd rather be than on the beach with a good book. Well, Disney World would be nice, but I can't afford that every year, so the beach will have to do... You can contact me at jaglvr@teensreadtoo.com. |
