A brief Introuction

Its a bog standard Saturday in early January. The children are back at school, the excitement of the holidays has worn off and the normal routines have been firmly re established. To put it bluntly: I'm bored.

That may not be the best reason to start a blog, however right now I can't think of another one so it'll have to suffice.

I am a youngish woman who loves to read. It wasn't always the case. I spent most of my teenage years being so preoccupied with 'experiencing life' that I had no time for reading. I worked diligently in high school and read when I had to. I wasn't a massive party animal so most of my 'experiencing life' meant going from home to school or work and back again.
Sounds dull doesn't it?

In later years though I got the chance to rediscover books, namely through children's literature. Now I actually enjoy keeping up with my own children who are avid readers!

This blog has been started in response to a very interesting reading challenge I'm taking on. One that I hope will stretch me as a reader.

My aim? To read and review one book a week. And to share any tips on promoting reading in an effort to spread the reading love to all I know (apologies to the grammar lovers who've just witnessed me starting a sentence with a conjunction) . Maybe this'll even get shared with those I don't know, you never know, y'know?

I look forward to blogging!
