The Beginning of My Demise

Okay, I admit, I may be in this for the free books...and that may not be such a great thing.

I love books.  That is one of the main reasons why I took up a liking to library work and also the general atmosphere of a library/bookstore (the others being a slow-paced work environment aaaaand the occasional lazy day that happens to all twenty-somethings who work where their passions lie).

Another reason is it gave me an outlet for all of these books I hoard.  No, seriously, it has become a situation in this household.  Let me clarify.  There are two, I repeat, TWO book obsessed/ book genre polar opposites/ and talk-about-work-when-we-aren't-at-work librarians living under a very tiny roof. It has become "what I call" a nightmare (thank you Miranda Hart, I love you).

We like 2nd and Charles, book ARCs, and I will name her....., (since people on blogs enjoy making incognito names for their children and significant other, I feel this is only proper) Socks, just go with it, juuuuuuuuuuust signed up to be a committee member on the Georgia Peach Awards (almost 100 free books a year YAY!) board and I have a gut wrenching feeling she will be picked so we shall be receiving/buying/begging for books ALL OF THE TIME. (UPDATE:  She didn't get picked. BOO! But I signed up with Blogging for books and get free books at least twice a month. Yay!)

I have been wanting to do one of these blogs for a while and finally have the time to do them.  This one will be mainly for doing book reviews and they may be short and they may be run-on-ey but that's how my brain works so *raspberry*.

When I said Socks and I are polar opposites, I was being completely true.  She enjoys zombie dystopian (Jonathan Maberry, Charlie Higson, and the Walking Dead compendiums) and I, on the other hand, enj...well, I'm actually kind of all over the place with my interests.  I like Margaret Peterson Haddix, D.J. MacHale, Scott Westerfield, Rainbow Rowell, Loren Long and lots lots more when it comes to the youth categories but oh, man gee man do I like adult fiction too.

Andy Weir, Ernest Cline, Daniel H. Wilson...pretty much anything Sci-Fi or Fantasy I will drink up.  (Help me with Game of Thrones, though, too much high fantasy all at once).

So, that's my ramble.

Welcome to my rambly blog.
