Welcome to the Bookworm's Hangout!

As an avid bibliophile my entire life, I figured it was time to turn the tables on my habit and begin to put pen to paper for others to read. This blog will hopefully become a place for my fellow readers to share good books with me and with each other, and for me to post reviews of my library of books from all genres. It is my wish that those who do read this blog come away with a new sense of what's good and not so good in the written world... at least, in my opinion.

I tried, and failed, to start a book club with some friends here in my hometown, so this is my neolithic way of trying again with others from around the world.

My interests include just about everything from fiction and nonfiction, but I really enjoy mystery/thriller books, political expositories and biographies, and series novels. As a substitute teacher, I also delve regularly into the world of kids' books, and as a retail bookseller (yes, I'm a new college grad working two jobs), I am exposed to new releases and books most people won't have heard of unless they were recommended the titles. So get ready to join me on my adventure. Please feel free to comment regularly with suggestions, your own opinions, and insights I may miss along the way.
