I thought I'd start a blog so that I could review all of the books that I read. I tend to read at least 2 books a week, sometimes more. Well...that idea didn't last long, lol. The problem was that the first book that I sat down to review was a book that I actually disliked. So, I sat and tried to think of a diplomatic way to review this book without being too harsh or mean, and it just ended up being a bunch of crap, lol. I now understand why most of the book blogs that I've read always give high ratings to the books they review. I'm not sure that many people actually want to do bad reviews on their blogs, especially if they actually want to get authors to send them copies in advance.
Anyway, I think this will be a pretty general blog. I constantly feel like I need to write...that I need to get everything in my head OUT, and I don't know a better way to do that than to start a blog. So let me start by saying...
Hello! My name is Priscilla, and I'm a bookaholic. I read to escape, I read to dream, I read to learn, I read to experience new things....I read to live! I am constantly looking for that high that comes from getting lost in a good book and falling in love with characters and the story they've inspired. Besides my addiction to reading, I'm a single mom (yes, I know...who isn't these days?!) trying to figure out how to get through life with minimal damage. I have one of those minds that never seems to stop thinking, analyzing or contemplating anything and everything around me. Its tiring...and reading allows me to escape for a little while.
Right now I'm reading Brotherhood: Dharma, Destiny, and the American Dream by Deepak and Sanjiv Chopra. I have a fascination with Deepak Chopra's spiritual teachings, so I wanted to get some insight into his life before he became the man he is today. I'll let you guys know what I think once I've read it.
