Team Awesome!

Greetings.

I thought that I would take a few moments to actually sit down and write my very first post to my very first blog. Or at least, the very first blog that I’ve posted to, ever. Actually, I believe that you get the idea.

Reading has always been a passion of mine from the very first book that I opened when I was knee-high to a bullfrog on a hot July day, to the works that I am now reading in my adult life. And while the books have changed, authors have become more daring, and life has gotten all the more interesting, one thing has always remained the same. The passion is still there. The need to soak myself in words and images as I am whisked away to a different place still fills me with awe, especially if the book is an excellent read. I hope that fire will be one that always continues to burn.

My first book series that I ever read was the Belgariad by David Eddings. And even though his works might be considered cliche–there’s even a whiny heroine–I still love his books. I devoured his books like I’d devour a cheesecake: without mercy. I finished a five book series in about three weeks. I think that I will have to do a review of his books for this site, but I fear that my eye might be a little too critical.

Now, I read a lot of romance novels. I also enjoy some fantasy. I also am a huge fan of romantic suspense novels as well as paranormal romances. I am always looking for a good book to get my grubby little paws on, so please feel free to mention some of your favorites.

Finally, I’d just like to say that reading unites us. There is nothing more powerful than words. They have the power to build up or tear down, stir the imagination or make you die of boredom and wonder just why you wasted your day reading a certain book. But most importantly, they have the power to transform. Happy reading!
