Hello friends and fellow bookworms!
Ashley and I decided to start this blog for a variety of reasons. We love to read. We love to share our thoughts on what we read, and mostly, we read so much that sometimes we forget what we have read and need a way to remember :)
Before you trust us with our book opinions, let us tell you a little bit about ourselves. We grew up in a family of bookworms. Our mom was always reading, and seeing how television and cable wasn't always readily available to us, reading became our 1 reliable form of entertainment. To us, reading is second nature.
I just graduated from BYU with a degree in American Studies and a minor in English. Because I have been in school for the last 6 years, I haven't had a lot of time to read for fun. Now that I am free from the burden of assigned reading, I am enjoying reading again. I hope to one day own my very own used bookstore. That has been my dream for the last few years, so please no one kill that dream with talk of e books.
Ashley just graduated from high school. She will be studying History and English education, with the goal of eventually becoming a University professor. She can read like a million words per minute. Ok that might be a slight exaggeration, but if you give her a 300 page book at noon, she will have it finished by midnight, probably sooner if she really likes it.
So here is how we want this thing to work. We will, individually, finish a book. Once we have finished it, we will come here and post about it. The title of our post will be the title and author of the book. We will include a page count, our thoughts on the book, and a brief summary of the book, minus any super important details. NO spoilers here!
We welcome any and all suggestions for books to read, as well as comments about our chosen opinion. We won't guarantee a debate though; we both tend to be pretty non confrontational.
Please enjoy and Happy Reading!
~Tara and Ashley
