Prologue

It has recently come to my attention that I read far too much. For this very reason, people tend to ask me when buying a gift for their mother-in-law who is apparently such a great fan of historical romances. The problem this causes for me is simple: I end up repeating myself endlessly, saying the very same things about every book I read. Hence, the idea of a blog.

A word of caution: I read for the characters. I read for the stories. I read for the sheer lyrical beauty of words. I could care less whether a book is written for 'young adults,' if it's science fiction, or if it was written in the fifteen hundreds. Be forewarned.
