Let me start my book blog with the series that started it all. The very first book that I remembered reading was a book in the Sweet Valley Kids Series. I read through the Kids, then moved on to the Twins series. I think I started reading Sweet Valley High right when I started … Continue reading Sweet Valley Confidential: Ten Years Later
The Book Affair
This has actually been a long time coming. It is no secret that I love books. A friend of mine used to laugh at me back in college because I would gladly go without lunch because I used my money for books. Now, I would gladly go poor for a couple of days because I … Continue reading The Book Affair
