The place for all things bookish

 

My house is filled with scraps of paper listing websites, my home (and work!) computer are filled with bookmarks that get jumbled.  I have stacks of "favorite books" piled on every corner of my aparment.  This is where I plan to bring it all together.  The place where I will recommend books, great websites, and favorite blogs.  Hope you enjoy (and find a great new read!)

What I am reading right now... 

I go through a lot of books so hopefully I will keep this updated as much as possible, you should see a new book every 2-3 weeks or so...Hope something strikes your fancy!

About WindyCityReader

I am in my mid twenties - though starting to favor the "30" side of that divide.  I'm just behind those growing up today with all the new fantastic technology so I'm running hard to keep up and in the game.  I hope people find what I create, and I hope they enjoy it.
