About Me

Hi there! Let me introduce myself.

I'm a bookworm and a Stay-At-Home-Mom. I've been a book reviewer for the past 8 years for various online publications and now post my book reviews solely on my book blogs. As many of you know, being a Mom is a full-time job. I still manage to sneak away now and then between feedings and playtime and dirty diapers and blog my heart away. On this blog, you'll find my natterings and and reviews about anything that catches my fancy, whether it's baby yogurt, a new toy my Kiddo has fallen in love with, eco-friendly products or something I love, jewelry! We're an organic family, or at least we strive to be. I'm interested in all things that help save earth and leave it a better place for our children.

I'm also somewhat of a techno/gadget junkie. Which means, sometimes posting gets neglected as I play around with my CSS editor and start tinkering with my blog code, adding widgets, changing fonts, finding scripts to effect some amazing changes etc etc etc.

I'm late to the social networking bandwagon, but I'm getting there! You'll find me on Twitter (my id is callmeabookworm) and elsewhere. I also enjoy reading about, visiting and chatting away with other women/moms and their blogs. I'm also a member of some Mom organizations.

What else? Oh, and I love to garden. I'm still relatively green at this ;), but I'm making a start.

And I love entering contests and giveaways. I mean, who doesn't like free stuff in this age of economic down spiral? I'm now holding a lot of giveaways on my blogs and they're here to stay for the foreseeable future!

My email address is : callmeabookworm at gmail dot com

I'm open to reviewing anything and everything, as long it's not indecent or illegal or otherwise offensive to me. Feel free to contact me with specifics. You can either email me or use the contact form you'll find on the menu. I have three blogs across which I cross-promote my reviews and giveaways and I can assure you the results of this are just amazing!
