Hello Everyone!
We will have to see how this grand adventure of discussing our shared passion about good books goes. This is a first for me even though I have been thinking about it for awhile. But, I am always asked by friends what they should read. So, I am hoping to be of service to more than one person at a time.
This will be an all genre blog. I tend to read everything, YA, fantasy, science fiction, thrillers, suspense, and I primarily read for enjoyment. So I am hoping we can help each other out and discover new books together.
Excuse my moniker of BookGod, but that is a very special nickname given to me by a former employee who loved my passion and knowledge about books. I use it tongue in cheek. Books should be fun!
I also take requests and I am just as interested knowing what you are reading. I will also try to educate, you my friends, on the appropriateness of said book I am discussing. I believe that our children should curl up with a book rather than that nasty television, but, we need to make sure that we approve of the content. There is much out there that is for "12 years and up" that would tend to make a jaded, world weary gigolo sweat.
My goal is to get all people from 12 to 99 to read more. If you are not a reader, I can find something you would read and enjoy and yes, like. Try me!
I'm sooo excited! I'm going to tell my book club friends about this, and, yes, I DO hope to read more!! Thanks Tim!
ReplyDeleteSo happy to see this up and running! I'm always looking for a good book to read!
ReplyDeleteI love books so much I volunteer at my kids' school library almost full time. Is it weird that I talk to them? I love Dai Sijie's novel Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress. Genre: historical fiction. Easy to read but fraught with symbolism, this book reads on many levels. I also enjoyed Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter. The mix of fantasy and history is terrific. Could have been better written, but still worth the read. Suggestions always welcome!
ReplyDeleteTim, I know how long this has been a passion of yours! So happy you are able to see your passion come to life. I thought I was an avid reader until I met you. You are never seen without a book in your hand. It's comforting to know someone with such a passion and have it come to life. Blog away my friend, blog away!
ReplyDeleteI am so thankful that you have started this, in the past two years I have struggled to find books to read. I didn't realize how much I leaned on you for reading material, it's almost like you were my dealer, ha! I am reading a trilogy that was published in 1924/25/26 that is actually quite interesting, found it in a thrift store. It is called the Louis Bromfield Trilogy, probably quite scandalous for the time period. Anyhow, thanks for starting this blog Tim, you are the man!!
ReplyDeleteYou The Man! I will tell everyone...
