Hello, my name is Kelly and I welcome you to the Bookend Diaries book blog. I created this blog to share my own reviews of existing and new books, to discuss with other readers what we’re currently reading, update you on my book club picks, and of course, to ultimately support the work of the authors we all enjoy. I am addicted to reading and I thought this would be a great way to reach out to other readers who are as obsessed with books as I am.

    Hi! I'm a follower. I just finished "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy. It was rivetting! I started it Wed night, I work 9-5, I hosted my book club last night, and I still HAD to finish it before I slept.

    I LOVE books!!

    Hello,

    I am a follower of your lovely blog :)

    My newest book is "The Hungry Season" by T. Greenwood. I've never read any of her novels, and technically I haven't "yet"--just waiting for a little spot of time to start it! (In other words, a mommy break :)

    I am currently reading the new book about Lewis Carroll's life {the title of which escapes me}. A little slow going since I don't usually read books of this type.

    I am a new follower (gorgous header to your blog!)

    You would think for a book lover what I am reading would be an easy question. And normally it is but after a fantastic week in New York and reading on the plane and finishing my book, I am at a blissful crossroads in reads and have not chosen the next one yet.

    Hmm... Nyphron Rising by Michael Sullivan - 3rd in the series and I wanted to do a Michael Sullivan weekend on my blog.

    Thanks for the chance on the giveaway :)
