Why I Blog:

I blog for fun, plain and simple. I enjoy writing, and reading, so I combined my two loves by writing about books. But, I didn’t begin this journey blogging about books.

Originally, my blog was titled “In Case You Were Wondering…” and I wrote about dream interpretation, missing persons (my post on the Jamison family continues to get the most hits), politics, and the occasional book review. An author friend of mine, Jennifer Allis Provost, suggested I narrow my blog down to book reviews. I kept her suggestion in the back of my mind, and eventually I made the switch. From there “In Case You Were Wondering…” became “A Well Read Woman”. I am very happy with the change!

In addition to being passionate about writing about books, I enjoy networking with Authors and other bloggers, conducting interviews, participating in bookish memes, and most importantly, all the awesome free books that I get to read in exchange for my opinions!

Pretty cool, right?
