Welcome to our new blog!

My sister, Lynnie, and I have decided to start a new adventure--blogging our book reviews!  We are both heavy readers although we approached this point via different avenues.
 
Lynnie was always a voracious reader.  When she wasn't outside or involved with sports, she was reading.  Amy never understood why she would rather stay curled up in her bed reading when she could be out with friends instead.  Lynnie loved reading so much she majored in communications at college.  She can be found with a book in her hand (or propped up) whenever there's a spare moment while stirring dinner, folding laundry, or waiting at a drawbridge to go down.  There is always time to fit in a few paragraphs!

Amy, on the other hand, only read when she had to do so for school.  And she rarely enjoyed any of those required books.  She did experience the joy of reading for a couple years during her adolescence when she discovered Judy Blume. But, once she had read all of Blume's books (including the spicy Forever!), she fell off the wagon until she had graduated from college (where she had been a math major).  She then read mostly Dean Koontz for a few years.  She had almost completed his entire repertoire when she realized reading mostly one author was getting boring and she took another break from reading.  Thankfully, Lynnie insisted that she read Harry Potter (this was back before The Prisoner of Azkaban was released) and Amy, once again, fell in love with reading.  She now participates in three book clubs because she loves discussing books!

While we do not normally make a habit of reading the same book at the same time (except when there is a new release about which we are both excited), we often get around to reading many of the same books because we have similar tastes.  In our blog, we hope to write about any books that we have both read.  We will also blog about books that we individually love when the other sister is not likely to read it in the near future.  Our readers will get the benefit of two reviews in one place and Lynnie and I will have fun working on a project together.  We hope you enjoy!
