Hard to believe, but it was 17 years ago today that I started blogging my reading experiences. Little did I know I’d still be doing this so far into the future! 🙂 I still love reading – I always have. I only wish I had more time to really sit and write about the books I read. I don’t have enough time to write about all the books I read and I don’t have the time to write in depth; but — I know that in the coming years I will be reaching the age of retirement and I hope to have more time to devote to the things I love to do (not just the things I have to do).

In the meantime, I will continue to love reading and connecting with authors, publishers, publicists, and other readers!

My advice for 2026: read what you want – no apologies needed!
