About Me

I started this blog in 2010 to talk about the books I love and my writing journey.

I am a professional writer with a background in journalism. I majored in English and journalism at a large state university.

I mostly read literary fiction and non-fiction. I love biographies and memoirs. I also enjoy reading short stories and essays.

I love physical books, but most of the new books I purchase for my Kindle or download the Kindle version from Overdrive.

I currently have over 1200 books on my Kindle.

I am also interested in blogging, YouTube, photography, road trips, and film and television.

I post photos (mostly of New Jersey) on New Jersey Memories.

I am currently blogging on WordPress.

My avatar is the frontispiece to the book Queen of Hearts. It was done by Randolph Caldecott. The Caldecott Medal is named after him. I found it on Old Book Illustrations.

Book covers “borrowed” mostly from Goodreads. I upload them to my computer first, then post them.

On other posts, I love using photos from Unsplash.

The vast majority of books I review are ones I have bought or borrowed from the library. The majority are Kindle books.

If I have been given a book for review from an author or publisher, I will be transparent in the review.
