Books, Books and More Books

A good book is the best of friends,
the same today and forever.

Welcome!

Welcome to my blog! I am Reader Sue, and I love to read! I have always been a reader, since my early elementary years. There certainly have been times in my life when I have been able to devour many books, and other times (child rearing years) where I hardly had time to read a newspaper. Well, the past few years as my children are becoming more adult-like, I find that I have really picked back up my reading schedule!

I actually belong to several book clubs, with a variety of book choices in them. This is absolutely the best part for me!! I certainly enjoy reading popular fiction, but the most fun over the past few years has been reading a variety of classics, non-fiction, historical fiction and business-type books based on the groups that I am associated with. And ultimately, it is rewarding to have a discussion about the book and see what other people think and feel about what they just read.

And so it leads me here! I have honestly been thinking that I should start to keep track of what I have read and making notes about them. I have gotten to the point where I actually can’t remember if I have read a certain book or not. This is frustrating for me! So, my goal of my blog here is to A) keep track of books that I have read, B) share my feelings about the book, and that of any of my book buddies and C) keep a list of books I want to read!

Finally, for me, there is always a story behind the story when it comes to books. Whether it ties me to a situation regarding the book or the author, I am always amazed how far reaching the experience of the book brings to me. This is mostly the reason I feel the need to share with all of you!

Please share any comments or suggestions about great book blogs you have followed, and what interested you most in those! And again, welcome and come back soon
