Purpose of Blog

I, unlike many teenagers my age, love spending my time reading. For as long as I can remember I was reading. The first 'big book' that I read would be The Giving Tree when I was in first grade and I haven't stopped reading since. The older I become the larger the books grow and the more I enjoy them.
So, why do you love to read? most people ask, why do you do it? well, I find the answer is simple. When I read the book opens a window into a whole other world. When I'm worried or nervous about something I just grab a book and dive in. My worries no longer exist, my fears are no longer real, I leave my life and world behind. There is only me and the book, nothing else. A good book is my haven, something that is always there and true to you.
But no matter how many books I have read I still have the dilemma of trying to find a good book. We've all heard the saying, "Don't judge a book by its cover." but lets face even the best of us do. When we go into a library or a bookstore we don't read the back of every book, we scan the shelves. We look for titles that sound good or cover art that looks cool, and yet we can still look over the good books and still pick bummers.
So I've taken a step of action against this problem. I am going to review books and rate them on a scale of 1-5. I will recommend good books and help you steer clear of books that I have found disappointing. I also hope that my followers (that is if I ever get any) will help me when it comes to finding a good book.
Now a word of advice to any of you who hope to save some trouble by following my blog. You should know that I am a teenage girl (I will not reveal my age) and that it is possible that the books that I enjoy may not be the same as the ones that you enjoy. So when I say that I loved a certain book or hated a certain book it is possible that you may think differently. I will not reveal any great twists in a book or tell you how it ends, only tell you a little bit about the book and my rating. I may also include occasional advise concerning books or writing depending on what I feel like talking about. i will try to post as many reviews as I can and update my blog as often as possible.
I hope that my efforts will help you as much as possible.
