About me

Introduction

Hi! Thanks for stopping by! I'm a content strategist by day, book reviewer by night! I love reading a variety of books, from contemporary and historical fiction, to nonfiction and memoirs. I'm mom to a 10 year old boy and an 8 year old girl, and I enjoy sharing what they are reading as well. Have a look at my book reviews, author interviews and guest posts. Thanks for stopping by!
