Book 1

Book One: A Wrinkle in Time by: Madeleine L'Engle 

Have you ever thought back about the books you read growing up through school?  This book is one of those for me. I only have a slight memory of the story line, but I remember it troubling me as a child (in 5th grade to be exact). Therefore, being the curious adult, I bought it to read again.

This is book one out of a four book series. Winner of the John Newbery Medal.

I will give my star count (review) upon finishing the book. In the meantime, what is your childhood book of interest that you might consider re-reading as an adult? Please share!

Cheers,
Stephanie

New Beginnings...

I am probably the most excited about this blog out of my four (which all my blogs are VERY different in topics). This one is most exciting because I am going to talk about one of my favorite earthly treasures ... BOOKS! One of my favorite hobbies which I am never satisfied with the amount of time I devote to is reading.

This blog is my personal book club. Meaning, I hope to use this blog as a means to talk about the book(s) I am reading and whether I would recommend them to others. I will rate each book by the scale of 1-5 stars (*). It is my way of encouraging others to read and connecting people to the written word.

Cheers,
Stephanie
