Beginning in the middle

I have been tossing up this idea for a while and have finally set the wheels in motion. A blog about all the books I read. There are so many ways to share reviews so why did I start this one. I love reading but unfortunately I don't have a good memory of books. Perhaps it is that I read so avidly that the stories all spiral inside my head into a rainbow of chapters, happy endings, tragedies, sequels, authors and titles. So if I blog about them I will have a record of what I enjoyed or didn't about the books. If I can inspire people to read, link them to a new author or just give them another option in choosing their next read then all the better.
'Where the wild things are' by Maurice Sendak is one of my favorite children's books and since many of the books I read are children's and young adults fiction then I thought "Where the wild things read" was a fitting title for this blog.
I have always loved reading. So much so that as a child I would neglect chores or visitors in preference to reading. It got to the point that for a time my Mum banned me from reading during daylight hours. As all teenagers I found my way around the ban by sneaking off when mum was on the phone or entertaining visitors, or hanging the washing to find out what was happening to the lives of people in my latest novel. One of the positives of not being able to read during daylight hours was that I couldn't devour a book in one sitting so I would spend the day considering the possible twist and turns of the plot. I would often involve my sisters in acting out the story I was reading. The cons were that I would often read well into the wee hours of the morning.
Thus begins my journey in the middle of my reading joy. Hopefully I will revisit some of my favourite books and share them here and loads of new books too.
