I started this blog in January 2010 for my own amusement and to connect with other readers. Blogging about the books I read and bookish things I think and do has given me a chance to “meet” so many amazing fellow readers. You guys are awesome.
A bit about the blogger…
My name is Melissa, I love books (obviously) and tend to read a wide variety of genres. I read a lot of literary fiction and classics, but also enjoy modern fiction and nonfiction, graphic novels and young adult books. I'm always looking for recommendations. I'm in my late 20s and have been reading for as long as I can remember. I live in the Midwest with the Huz (who puts up with my ridiculous library) and the pup (who tries to distract me from reading whenever he can).
I also love to travel and have been to 32 states within the USA and 14 countries. My day job is in the publishing industry. I used to work at a daily newspaper and miss it, but sadly, it’s a dying field. I also review about one theatre performance at week over at my other blog, Stage Write.
You can always reach me, to chat, recommend a book or whatever, at avidreader25 [at] gmail.com

My review policy
If you read this blog and think I will actually enjoy the book you are pitching, you can e-mail me. However, if you send me a dozen e-mails pitching romance novels, kids books, self-help books, supernatural thrillers, etc. I will probably just ignore them. I do not blog for review copies and only accept them if it’s a book I’m truly interested in reading. Thanks.
