As a child, my nose was always stuck in a book. I would leave the library with as many books as I could carry and return a week later for another stack. I loved reading! I loved all of the worlds I could create in my imagination from the words on the pages. I loved the memoirs, biographies, and non-fiction books that taught me so much information.

Unfortunately, with life, being a mom, and working all the time, reading has been on the back burner for many years. I miss it. It’s the same concept for me as my husband playing his video games. It’s a comfort, it’s something I do for fun. I made myself a promise and challenge that this year, I would make time to read and fill up every month with as many books as I can.

I started a book annotation club with a friend of mine. I know, OMG! she’s defacing books. Look, these are my personal books that sit on my bookshelves. It’s fun and it gives a reread a more unique take. For those who don’t understand what an annotation book club is. It’s simply writing in the book.

Well, it is a little more complicated than that. I chose a book, and as I am reading, I will make little notes at parts. It can be anything. Parts that I find funny, parts that make me want to scream. My thoughts about what I read, etc… The possibilities are endless.

So with my book club up and running, I thought I woud create a blog and review the books. Now, be warned I am influenced by booktok so some of the books on my list are from there. They might not be my cup of tea, but I am willing to give them a try.

Happy reading ❤
