Goodreads And Why You Need It

Goodreads. What is it? And why do you need it?

I’m a book nerd. I’m not ashamed to admit it. 

I love books. I always have. As a kid, Saturday mornings for me meant hiding behind the shed on a blanket completely lost in a novel. Until my mother’s voice pulled me out of the story.

My house overflows with books. They’re stuffed on every bookshelf, cabinet, and closet. Even the ones I don’t like. I just can’t bring myself to throw them out.

With every one of our moves, at least one of the movers asked,

What is in this trunk?

From state to state, country to country, my books moved with us.
