Hello!
My name is Valerie and I consider myself to be an avid reader, which is a rather funny claim to make because when I was younger, I absolutely HATED to read. During high school reading a certain number of pages and writing book reports were my worst nightmare. Fast forward a few years and I cannot get enough time in my day to spend reading or looking up new books to add to be "To Be Read" list. I use reading as a stress-reliever and a bit of an escape from reality after my boys are in bed. #boymom
What do I do when I’m not
reading?
I have been married to my wonderful husband, Kevin, for six years and we have three boys. Eli is 4 years old and Joshua & Micah are 10 months old. I also work full-time at a local college and have been working in higher education for over ten years. Needless to say, we are a busy family! Other hobbies include baking, cooking, crafting and gardening.
Why am I writing a blog?
I have a
master’s degree in Communications related to advertising and public relations.
I love writing and have a passion for reading and reviewing books. I want to
use this blog as an opportunity to express my thoughts in a creative manner and
contribute to discussions with others in the community who love books as much
as I do.
What are my favorite genres?
I love
nothing more than reading a phenomenal thriller that keeps me guessing and on
the edge of my seat. Or a good historical fiction that throws me back into a
period I cannot imagine living in now. I also enjoy romance, rom-com, women’s
lit, chick-lit, suspense, historical fiction, women’s fiction just to
name a few. I typically steer clear from fantasy/sci-fi and non-fiction.
Who are some of my favorite authors?
