Growing up I was one of those kids that brought a book to a sleepover.
If I see you reading a book, I will try to talk to you about it and I will recommend similar books I loved.
Rather than be ‘that weird girl I don’t know that won’t stop talking to me about books’ I decided to start this blog to send my reviews out into cyberspace with the hope that people will stumble along and find something they like.
I am a wife to one remarkable man.
I am a mother to one mini-bookworm, age 3.
I am a medical laboratory scientist (ask me about this!)
I love coffee, hiking, ice cream, volleyball, wine, and biking. Basically, imbibing and activites.
I hope you all enjoy my reviews and that you find something to love among these wonderful treasures called books.
Find me on Instagram and Twitter.

Thanks for “liking” my review of the book “Blood on the Marias.” I’ll have to check out some of your own book recommendations. All the best!

Hey there
Cool bio. I love when educated and cool bloggers find my little blog. If only there were 30 million more of you America wouldn’t be in danger of electing a lunatic dumbass. Very nice photo of your family; my Canadian wife says you look like a vintage Canuck. As a wannabe wordsmith who was lucky enough to retire early I use the blog only as a mor hobby but I do love reading do I plan on reading lots of your reviews. I hope you follow us also

I’m terrified for this election, and for the world in general right now. But it ebbs and flows so I’m just hoping to ride this one out. Early retirement is a hope for my husband and I but we still have a ways to go! I have thoroughly enjoyed the blogging experience and the opportunities it has allowed me. I look forward to exploring your blog some more.

I was the kid who walked into lampposts whilst reading a book (the latter day equivalent of texting into a lamppost I guess) ….
I wonder if you would be interested in reviewing my debut book?
It is the first part of a thrilling series, with 60 chapters each set in real time taking the reader 1 minute to read (hence Sixty Minute Reads series)
It is available on Kindle Unlimited or paperback here, but I am able to email you a PDF version if you’d prefer?

I much prefer to walk into a lamppost by reading a book rather than texting. I would be interested in reading your debut! I would prefer the PDF copy. I can’t promise to have it reviewed quickly as a have a large group of prior review commitments but I will do it in a timely manner. Please e-mail the file to me at duncan.kaylac@gmail.com. Thanks!

Taking a book to a sleepover? Didn’t do many of those when I was a kid, but when my parents told me to go out and play, I’d take a book and sit on top of the climbing frame. Not that comfortable, but at least I was getting some fresh air!
