Welcome to my bookshelf! This is where I track some of my reading, as well as where I post my bookbug reviews. Bookbug is an online book club hosted over on Neocities. We read one book a month, and sometimes I write the wrap-ups :) Click the button below to read other member's reviews!
Here's just some general stats. As much as I love to read, I'm a bit of a slow reader, so my goals are always modest. Also, I track all my books on Librarything which goes into more detail.
I like most of what I read, but I particularly enjoy "classic" literature. I'm always looking to expand my horizons.
