Hey, hi, hello.  Welcome to Blonde Bibliotaph, a project I've been thinking about for a while, but just now found the courage to start.

 Reading is my first love.  As an only child, I didn't have any other kids to play with, but I always had my books.  

 As an adult, I don't go anywhere without a book.  You're never fully dressed without a book in your bag (I think that's how the saying goes...).  

 Since I spend most of my free time and disposable income on books, it only makes sense to make something productive of all my efforts. You can find me here, posting book reviews, news, and literary odds and ends.  I read anything I can get my hands on, regardless of genre, so I'll be just as surprised by what I post as you are.

 I'd like to give a sincere thanks to anyone taking the time to read this (hi Mom and Dad!) and I hope you'll check back soon for my first "real" post.

Spring has sprung - April in New Jersey means the start of nice weather!    I am looking forward to when it’s warm enough to sit outside and read.  In the meantime, here are some books I’m adding to my TBR list: World Travel:  An Irreverent Guide By Anthony Bourdain Travel Release date 04/20/21   “ Anthony Bourdain saw more of the world than nearly anyone.

The Liar's Daughter  by Megan Cooley Peterson Release date 09/10/2019 284 pages 4 out of 5 stars According to the publisher, " Seventeen-year-old Piper knows that Father is a Prophet. Infallible. The chosen one. She would do anything for Father. That's why she takes care of all her little sisters. That's why she runs end-of-the-world drills. That's why she never asks questions.
