4. I get to visit magical lands and worlds (Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings)

5. I learn something new. (The Woman With The Cure, Things We Didn’t Say, Songbird)

6. I visit important events in history (Things We Didn’t Say, Long Way Home)

7. I learn more about writing by reading talented authors (All of the above)

8. I get to try and solve a mystery (Murder at Wakehurst, Songbird)

9. I learn more about the place in which I live. (When Stone Wings Fly)

10. I get to revisit old friends whenever I want. (St. Mary’s Chronicles by Jodi Taylor, Harry Potter)

I love to read and write book reviews in my free time. I review advance review copies of books on Netgalley for various publishers. I am also a reviewer for Historical Novels Review Magazine, the magazine of the Historical Novel Society. I review books from publishers of all size, large to small. I have a special place in my heart for indie authors. I will sometimes post a little writing that I might dabble in occasionally. I also am lucky enough to live in the Smoky Mountains, so I'll be sharing photos of the beauty around me from time to time.

  2. When well written, a book opens vistas for reader never before considered. I love the challenge, the new universes and panoramas. When a well developed character is successfully portrayed, the author becomes a full-fledged artist and the reader has no option but to wonder in awe. Nothing is better for the soul than exploring what makes us human. In the words of a very distant cousin, Alfred Habdank Skarbek Korzybski, we are, after all, the only time-binding species on earth. Art, books — and now films — have granted us that facility.

  3. I will always and forever be thankful for books. They have introduced me to new worlds and cultures, made me fall in love over and over, and given me wonderful lifetime friends. Books have entertained and educated me, healed wounds and made dreams come true. They have caused me to laugh out loud and to cry uncontrollably. And most of all, they have taught me empathy and understanding. Without the books I have read, I would not be who I am today.

  15. As for me, I am very thankful for books. They have provided me with learning experiences, in engineering, science, astrophysics, languages, history, as well entertainment, imaginary experiences, the sharing of experiences, and escapism. In other words, books have given me a much richer life.

  16. I really like your list this week – you did it really similar to mine in listing the book and why you’re grateful for it. I have to agree with all of your books and reasons – they’re great! My favorites are that we get to visit cool lands, meet incredible characters, and learn about important people and events in history!
