Reflections of a Bookaholic
http://www.bookaholicreflections.com/
This blog reflects my ongoing journey with books. Many blogs review new books and keep track of up and coming book related issues. My blog hopes to be a home for anyone who reads books, needs to know about particular books, or any person who is bored and needs something to catch their eye for a short while.
The content will mostly focus on good reads new and old. I will review books I read. I hope to provide lists, resources, and other fun stuff I find helpful as a reader. Maybe I can uncover an underrated/forgotten book for you!
In addition, this blog seeks to be a conversation between readers about thoughts and reflections concerning the life, times, and hardships (wink, wink) of a reader.
