Hey everyone!!! I hope you’ve all had an amazing week!! Mine was not bad at all =) but… TGIF and the the Hop is here!
Today Jen asked us to talk about how we started reading…
I’ve been an avid reader since I was little, it was something my parents have always been proud of me for, bragging to friends and all LOL Their little girl that loves to read, even if it’s not for school hehe
My first series addiction was Agatha Christie… I’ve read almost all her books and I simply LOVE Poirot! My love for reading has continued for years but it finally came to an explosion in 2008.
I found Twilight and became basically a recluse… I read the whole series 5 times in a roll and became obsessed with finding more books in that genre and little by little have been finding out more genres that i love.
2009 was the high of my addiction, I read 350 books and since I started bloggin, i KNOW I won’t ever top that… but that’s ok… I LOVE Blogging!
I started this blog in November of 2007, but it was more of a personal blog, with some of my thoughts and stories… you can still read those=)
Last year I started following some blogs and authors on twitter and it was then I that I decided to start sharing my love for books by reviewing them here. I changed the blog name more recently so that it is clear that this is a book blog hehe =)

Hopping by on the blog hop - thanks for hopping by my blog. I'm adding you to my list of blogs to follow as well.
I've also read since I was little - I would take books out to eat with my parents on Friday nights and read at the table while waiting on food (I talked with them too, but they never minded my nose stuck in a book). I also use to look forward to long car trips because it was dedicated reading time :)
Hopping by! I'm following you, too! :-)
