- About Me:
- I can't recall at which point my love for books began, but I am ever so grateful to my mother for fueling my desire even though we couldn't really afford it as I was growing up.
I do recall that it had turned into an obsession by the time I was around 10, probably as a form of escapism from bullying. Stacks of Sweet Valley books every week, as fast as Francine Pascal and her army of writers could pump them out. I was enraptured with the golden twins and the American life. And then Harry Potter opened up a whole new avenue for me, the way Goosebumps could not. After Harry, I started reading anything and everything I could get my hands on, from Marian Keyes chicklit to astounding biographies like Angela's Ashes.
I then wanted to be a writer, churning out fan fiction and gaining 'fame' and a steady following through mailing lists. Which somehow led me to try and take Journalism at university, wherein I realised that I did not have the stomach for it, and that my writing was not on par with what was expected of me. After all, I wanted to write stories, not articles.
After finishing with a degree that I didn't intend to use, I ended up in rag trade management, and then, lo and behold - Borders was looking for a manager. Yipee!
And now we all know what's happened to all the Borders stores worldwide. *cough*
So, while I'm currently trying to find myself - I have decided to read as much as I can over the next few months and share my thoughts.
And that's about it.

Georgina Morales said… Hi there, welcome to Book Blogs!
I’m new myself to the site but so far I've found it a great place to meet other blogger friends, so you’ve definitely come to the right place if you want to network with other book lovers and writers. If you’re a fan of paranormal fiction, please give my debut novel Perpetual Night a look. I’m planning to do a giveaway in the near future GoodReads (Click here for my Author Page). And here’s the link to my blog Diary of a Writer in Progress where I talk about my own experiences becoming a published author and review some books for fellow writers. I'll be happy to follow your blog if you follow mine!
Now tell me about you, your blog, and favorite books!
