My name is Jess, and I’m a happily married 30 year old mother of two lovely young boys.
I’ve always enjoyed reading. When I was a child, my parents would threaten to take away my television privileges if I was being naughty. I didn’t care! Then they’d take away things like dessert, or some of my favorite toys. That’s was fine too. But then, one day, the wised up and realized that if they REALLY wanted me to behave, all they had to do was take away my library privileges! The shock! The horror! *shakes head sadly* It was terrible to live through I tell you. So now, many years later, here I sit, happily paging through my romance novels on my beloved Kindle, and occasionally smirking at the realization that my Mommy no longer has control over my library card.
I’m addicted to romance novels, as my blog’s title would suggest, and I actually began doing book reviews on Goodreads long before I got my own blog. I decided to actually bite the bullet and get a blog when I realized two things: First, my Goodreads shelves were so badly organized that even I couldn’t find what I was looking for, and secondly, because I was shamelessly trying to convince publishers to send me free books to help support my habit. Right now I’m on a Romantic Suspense kick, but I like to read everything from Paranormal/Urban Fantasy to Historical to Romantic Suspense to BDSM to Category Romances. Basically, if it’s romance, I like to read it!

I am a 20-something year old Uni student who loves to fill any possible spare moment with books. With my job, I am constantly creating reading lists, suggesting books to people and encouraging people to read or try new books. This is what first got me thinking that I would love to start blogging. It has been amazing meeting great new people and just having a creative outlet. I just love the idea of talking about books and sharing my thoughts.
I love reading romance and young adult but I also have a passion for children's picture books. I think they are just so beautifully written and the illustrations are always so captivating. I am usually reading two or three different books at once.
Q: Have you ever bought a book BECAUSE of a bad review?
No I can't say I ever bought a book because of a bad review but it made me more aware of why people didn't enjoy reading it.

I too have never bought a book because of a bad review. Everyone has different tastes.
Here's my Follow Friday. Stop by if you get a chance.
I tend to become curious about negative reviews so I might end up getting the book :D
New follower. Have a fab weekend!

Old follower hopping through! I'm too amazed about the fact that it's raining eggs to say anything LOL
I sort of agree. Negative reviews make me more aware of books, too. I often even read books because they got many negative reviews, though. Simply want to know what the fuss is all about. *g
