Bookaholic

This blog is primarily about book reviews! Every now and again I do write a post that is a bit more personal (but still about books) but generally if you want to know more about me as a person, check out my other blog.

The plan is to attempt to review every book I read, but I am a big re-reader. Books tagged 're-read' are not necessarily ones I have read and reviewed, just books I have read before.

I am also new to this book reviewing thing! So if you have any constructive critisim about ways I can make my reviews more useful and/or interesting please let me know. All comments are personally my own (or my daughters' if they do a review which they are talking about doing). As much as I love to read, there are always going to be books I don't like. So, I re-iterate, opinions expressed are my own! I will be honest. However, I will also try and give enough information that if it sounds like your sort of book you can still check it out.

Genre-wise, I read most things but I particularly love chick lit, contemporary fiction and historical books. Every now and again I go through a stage of really liking another genre and go on a massive reading-spree of those. I also collect early 20th century girls' stories, especially school stories and Girl Guide stories so lots of these get reviewed too.

Finally, I have primary-school aged daughters who not only like to read, they also like me to read books they are enjoying. So expect some of those! When I review these I try and give an indication of what I thought of the book as a parent as well as any opinion expressed by whichever of my daughters read it.

Enjoy! And please let me know what you think. And remember ... there is no such thing as too many books ;)
