Hello!

Hi everyone! My name's Becca and this is my brand spankin' new book blog. To start off, I thought I'd just give you a little background info on me. I am a 20-year-old book obsessed college student from Canada. I have, over the years, come to truly love and appreciate books, and therefore have started to read more and more of them, in a variety of genres (though primarily YA fantasy). My hope is that this blog will allow me to explore my love of books even more, and keep me accountable for what I’m reading and how I feel about each and every one of the books I pick up. Basically, when it all comes down to it, this blog is going to be a compilation of reviews, thoughts, rambles, etc. of books that I have read, am currently reading, or hope to read in the future. Nothing too fancy or out of the ordinary. I’m sure I’ll throw in a few random posts here and there as well. At this point though, I’m just hoping to keep better track of my feelings and thoughts on the books I “devour”.

I also just wanted to quickly go over how I’m going to be reviewing the books that I’ve read, as probably 75% of the posts I make will be book reviews. I will briefly go over all the info about the book (number of pages, publication date, when I read it, how many times I’ve read it, etc.), and then I will divide the rest of the review into sections: Synopsis, What I Liked, What I Didn’t Like, and Overall Rating & Recommendations. To actually rate the books I’ve read I will be using the typical five star rating system. (Click on the ‘My Rating System’ tab at the side of the page for more info.) Stay tuned for my first review, as it should be up sometime soon. You’ll be able to better see what I’m talking about then.

Just a side note: This is my very first blog. I am completely new to all this and it may take me a few weeks to really get into the swing of things, so please try to be patient with me. I will try my best to stay on top of things and post regularly, but I can’t make any promises. My plan is to post at least three times a week. Hopefully I can stick to that, but we shall have to wait and see.

That’s it for now! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
