Well I've finally caved in and started a blog of my own to track my reading obsession through challenges and just reading for enjoyment. I figure if nothing else it will be a learning experience since this is my first time blogging. And who knows, it may even be fun.
My comfy corner of the internet to ramble on about my love of books!
