Meet Melanie

About two years ago my husband and I moved from Houston to Austin,  Texas where we had no friends or family close by. Soon after our adorable little baby boy was born and I fell in love with the Austin atmosphere! I finally made some friends which include my two blog partners who are some of the most amazing, fun loving people I've ever met! The best part is I finally found great friends who suffer from the same addiction to books as I do. In 2012 I received my Bachelors of Science in Psychology with a minor in Sociology from University of Houston. Even though that degree didn't help me at all HAHA, I still have hope that one day I will find an amazing job! I occasionally dream that in the future I could become a book critic and read for a living....or maybe even SAVE THE WORLD! Either one would be pretty awesome! My favorite hobbies are running and reading, fuel for my body and mind. I love getting sucked into someone else's imagination through books. The best feeling is when you come home after a hard day and even though your hair is a hot mess and theres baby puke on your shirt you can pick up a book and escape from reality for a while. Reading is my favorite therapy!  The first book I really got into was Go Ask Alice by Beatrice Sparks, after getting over the initial depression of that book I fell in love with reading and couldn't get enough of it. Some of my favorite authors are Kristen Simmons, Rachel Caine, Emily McKay, Lauren Oliver, Suzanne Collins, and Veronica Roth.  After constantly  joking about starting a blog and how cool it would be to get paid to read all day we finally stepped up and created our own book blog. Even though we are all mothers and work all day we somehow have found time to fit in our love for books and are happy to share our opinions with the many others who also suffer from this amazing addiction!
