FIRST POST !!!! WHO AM I ???

So this is my "OFFICIAL" first post.  *** YAY***


A little about me. I am an East Tn gal. I was born a Georgia Peach, grew up in Florida, but my heart gave way to my EAST TN roots. I love my small community. It's got it's problems as with any small town but IT"S HOME ! I am a Mom, Wife, Sister, Daughter and BOOKIE ! Also, and this is between me and you, (whispers) I LOVE food, I'm a foodie. Anywho =) . I grew up reading Harlequin Romances. At the young age of 10 I got my first book and started reading. It was my escape. I loved to read. I would read a book in just under 2 days. That's pretty fast for a pre-teen. I would pack at least 10 books to read on the long drives from Florida to Ga/Tn to visit family. However , I became a teenager and BOYS were much more important than books *GASP* I know.  Years went by and I didn't read unless made to by the dreaded school teachers .. UGH... I finally grew up got a job and met some amazing friends. One of these amazing friends turned me on to TWILIGHT ! Nope I do NOT have a team. I think Edward and Jacob are BOTH perfect for Bella. However I love the stories none the less. I then realized... I have a thing for VAMPIRES...So this "friend" who turned me on to Twilight then introduced me to J.R. Wards  BLACK DAGGER BROTHERHOOD SERIES..... Omg ! Seriously these bad ass sexy Vamps is what did it. They gave me back my reading mojo. I sought out anything and everything BDB.


Through my search I discovered this whole new world of reading/characters. I made some amazing friendships. I'm sure some that will last a lifetime. One particular got me started with blogging. I had NO clue what blogging even was. She introduced me to street teams, blogging, new authors and so I had entered this NEW WORLD. I will forever be grateful to this friend. She gave me something she never knew she did. She gave me back my love of reading. Actually both "friends" did.


Life was GREAT, good books, good food, and GREAT friends. Then I was blessed to find out I WAS PREGNANT ! A life long dream and I was ECSTATIC to say the least.  Me and the love of my life along with my 2 stepsons were so excited and busy preparing for baby J. Then she came.. FINALLY.. and all was right in the world. As a new mom though reading was far from my mind. I missed it but lets face it reading baby labels or ounces marks was ALL the reading I was getting in. So something had to give. At this point friendships were suffering and I wasn't able to commit to blogging unfortunately. So I put ALL my time into my sweet baby. I wouldn't change a thing. After all FAMILY  comes first and fore most in ALL you do.


So fast forward 9 months and I'm finding WAIT A MINUTE ... I can spare a few minutes here and there to read. I also miss blogging . SURPRISE =) . So that's how we got to where we are today. I'm a SUPERMOM with a reading addiction. I will NOT get to post daily or maybe even weekly but I will TRY to post as much as possibly. I'm not looking for BIG recognition just a place to discuss my inner BOOKIE'S CONFESSIONS !
