Hi. My name is Tami. I am the author of this blog. You can contact me by posting a comment or emailing me at readaton@gmail.com. I am also happy to add you as a friend at www.goodreads.com where I keep track of everything I am reading.

I LOVE to read. I am pursuing my master's degree in library and information science at San Jose State University. Right now I mostly use this blog for class assignments.

No matter your reading tastes you will find books for you here. Enjoy!

struggling

I am struggling where to take this blog. I think it is a great forum for posting about our book for the month and then a few books that I can also recommend. But now where do we go? There are some bookblogs that I like to check out regularly, but they totally overwhelm me. There is so much information I just shut down. I only read about four to six books a month and so finding a blog that talks about 20 books or more at a time is just too much for me.

So what do I do here? I could write a book review on every book I read, but that might take some of the pleasure away from my readings. Everyone could periodically add their own book review of something they read recently. Anyone want to committ to 1 book review a month? That might actually be fun with lots of books and lots of different writing styles. I do enjoy crawling the web looking for good blogs, particularly bookblogs. I could continue to do so and share the things I find. I just don't quite have a vision yet beyond the basics of our book group. Any suggestions or ideas?

Tami, you have done an awesome job with this blog! I have really enjoyed reading it! I would, however, be willing to write a book review if that would be helpful. I'm afraid I already make too many comments though.

You definitely do not make too many comments! They are great. Next time you read a book that you really like, it would be great if you would type up a review and we can post it here! Thanks!

One of the links on my blog is for Suko's Notebook. She writes almost exclusively about books. It's at http://suko95.blogspot.com It might give you some ideas. And you could always add a side panel section with links to other book blogs.

You can always make an entry out of reading someone's review, making your own comments, and posting a link.

Just do what sound interesting and fun. Without having a lot of expectations for yourself. (Easy, right? NOT!)
