Just Joined the Bout of Books readathon

The Bout of Books read-a-thon is organized by Amanda @ On a Book Bender and Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal. It is a week long read-a-thon that begins 12:01am Monday, January 2nd and runs through Sunday, January 8th in whatever time zone you are in. Bout of Books is low-pressure. There are challenges, giveaways, and a grand prize, but all of these are completely optional. For all Bout of Books 18 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team  http://boutofbooks.blogspot.com/

I will try this. I don't have my work schedule, so my goal is to just read as much as possible; hopefully at least a book a day.

Starting Again

I decided to delete all my posts, and start over with my blog. I was just going to delete it, and create a new one, but every name I came up with was taken already.  So, here's a little about me:
I'm Rebecca, and I love to read.  I'm 27 years old, and from the time I learned to read, I was rarely without a book.  I read 700 or more books a year, and still wish I had time for more.  I have been extremely fortunate to have good thrift stores and a great library system nearby, because there is no way I could afford to pay full price for all the books I read. I have slowed down a bit, because i started a full time job a few months ago, but I'm hoping to get back into reading as much soon.
I have a Goodreads account, and get books for review from Netgalley and Edelweiss.  I love getting free books ahead of publication.  I have been lax in reviewing lately, but I fully intend to change that.  I'm hoping to get caught up within the next few months.
Anyway, I'll be back soon with a review post.  The books I review first might be a little bit older, instead of brand new, but as soon as I get a few written, I will alternate between the newer ones, and the ones on my backlog.
