Introduction

HELLO!!

While I have blogs for my other interests, and have very much neglected them (I am so sorry about that) – this new one has been created for a special reason.

A lot has changed since I created the other ones – which I am going to try to give a bit more attention to.

This one is solely for the books I’ve read – the Advanced Reader Copes (ARCs) of upcoming novels, some launch team books I’ve helped with, along with some “social media” tours I’ve done.

All of which I hope to continue to do in the future.

The title for this blog was a bit more difficult to come up with. I thought of “Book Nook”, “The Bookshelf” – yet nothing stuck.

Then, in desperation I chose …

READING EXCURSIONS

It seemed to fit and the description? Well … it was pretty easy to come up with.

I do believe that reading is an excursion – either a temporary getaway, or a vacation. Reading takes us to different towns (even countries), even takes us to different times, it helps us meet different people, helps us to connect with and engage our creative sides.

To me there is no greater interest to have than reading … unless you count writing. Photography is a close second.

For me, reading and writing are connected. I’ve long believed that to be a good writer, you have to love to read. Even on social media (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter); I’ve noticed that other writers follow each other and help promote their books.

I also feel this is the BEST place to consolidate my reviews and where to find the books I’ve reviewed.

For the first few blogs I’m going to go back and post all the reviews I’ve done since the beginning of the year.

I hope to increase the readership of this blog and continue this wonderful journey.
