I believe this would be a great family event.
Maybe as an adult you have not been reading as much as you used to
and would like your children to read more.
This is a perfect way to get the kids involved
and help raise money for a worthy cause at the same time.

Many adults do not read at all or do not read very well
and could use some help.
Those of us who do read and do not have that much trouble reading
do not always realize that some people at any age
just have a difficult time learning to read or being able to read well.
I personally have had friends and family in both categories
and have watched people I care about struggle to read even a box.
I can not imagine how hard it is for them to fill an application for employment.


Contests, Author, Book Signings, Etc. Information Wanted

I give honest reviews and always say whether I bought, won, or was given an advanced reader copy (ARC) or was just given a book by an author or as a gift. I am not a professional author, publisher, et cetera and as of this moment do not get paid for my reviews.

I did work in a book store for a while until it closed in January of 2009. I like to read and read a variety of books. I buy most of the books I read, but would love to receive ARCs or free books.

I read old and new books and there are only a handful of people who's reviews I enjoy reading and I do not let them influence me much (except in maybe I will pick up a book even if that reviewer does not like it). Everyone's taste is different and if I like something does not mean somebody else will.

If you are an author, publisher, blogger, or et cetera and would like me to read something of yours or want to add information to my blog please contact me. I look forward to hearing from you and thank you very much for reading and supporting my blog.

You may contact me through my e-mail
