welcome! and about this blog.
So you found yourself on another bookish blog. What makes this book blog different than any others? Well, I guess that’s for you to decide. Here’s just a bit of a rundown about me and about what I want to do with this space.
I’m Meg. I am a twenty-something female running around a lovely (although often cold) state in the US called Minnesota. Yeah, I went to college, graduated awhile ago but I haven’t really figured out this whole adult thing yet. I have a job working with dogs, but in my spare time I like to read a lot of books. Hence, the blog. But I also like to write and have been trying my hand at cooking recently as well. I’m actually not a bad cook, so at least I have that going for me if nothing else works out. People gotta eat, right?
Like I said, I love to read. And I like to share my love for reading and stories with the people that I care about. I want them to have a great experience reading as well. So I thought that I would just start a place where I could be honest and open about what I read and maybe help some people find some things to read as well. I’ll tell you the good, the not so good, and everything in between. If I read it, I’ll tell you about it.
YA. Yeah, I still read YA and I don’t plan on changing that anytime soon. There is some really amazing stuff being published in that genre and I’m not going to pass it up because I’m no longer in the character’s age bracket (13-19).
New Adult. This is what I am now, but it’s still a new genre in fiction. Main characters are between the ages of 18-30.
Dystopia. I just like seeing the world in pieces. Shoot me. (With an arrow like Katniss Everdeen, please)
Chick-Lit. The warm and fuzzies are good for the soul.
Contemporary Fiction. The books people are talking about, writing about, will become a movie in two years. I like to get ahead of the curve and read the book BEFORE it rights are sold and Emma Stone is cast as the main character.
Classics. I like to see where we came from and why these books are still useful and these stories still worth telling. Just because they held truth in 1850 doesn’t mean they can’t hold truth today.
