Welcome!

This is my second attempt at writing a blog.  (My other is entirely different, as it is a pet blog (Kitty Tales (behind the scenes) ).This weekly blog will tell about me and the numerous books that I have on my shelves to read. I will review these books, one by one, for you. 
I first want to tell you a little about myself.  I have always enjoyed a good book.  There is nothing better than to curl up with a nice, warm afghan, a fluffy cat and a great book (unless it is writing one).  I have been writing for several years, although unpublished (except for a column in a local paper). 
The greatest thing that I found recently was a community called "Goodreads" .  This is a place where readers can come together and share books, good and bad.  I love Goodreads because I find out about books,  contemporary and the classics.  I can read several reviews of the same book before purchasing. I can also trade with other members.  This is where I made a goal for myself to read 52 books in 2013.  I will share these books, good and bad, with you.  I will need your support to reach this lofty goal.
The first of these books will be "Lost and Found", by Amy Shojai.  This book is about an autistic boy and his companion dog.  I just started it last night, so I will share it with you the next time that we meet.
