Welcome

Welcome to my bookself!

For years I have wanted to compile an index for all of the books I have read over the years, this however, is going to be a little different.
This is a review of the books I have collected over the years, which sit piled high on my bookshelves. Honestly, some of my shelving units must be close to their weight bearing limit; it looks like the the inside of J.K. Rowling's Flourish and Blotts.

Every review I write will be of a book I have recently read. It may be the second time I have read the book: LOTR, or it may be the 17th time: Harry Potter. Each review will be written with the author's words still fresh and ringing in my mind.

These reviews will include a brief description of the story and then will focus on writing style, genre, age range for the readers, subject matter and reccomendations. I will also outline pet-peeves and dislikes (these are not to bother the author, but for my own personal learning and as a tool for up-coming writers).

***I will strive to avoid spoilers. ***
Believe me when I say, I hate spoilers; I refuse to read the back, or inside cover of a book, I just pick it up and read.

I love many authors; although you may notice a few re-occuring names, and will strive to review a varitety of works. Most of the books that surround my house are of a fantasy/ adventure genre, with a few mystery novels, and one or two horror stories hidden through out.

If you like books and you find yourself constantly looking for a new book, check my reviews when your nightstand is book-less and hopefully you will find a book or an author that calls to you.

Happy Reading.
