About me



I'm 47 years old. Never been married but, have 3 kids all grown up. I've been reading books since I was a teenager. I'm not a fast reader and some books do take me awhile unless I really get into them. I love to draw and write as will. I started my blog mostly to keep track of the books I read. Its a great way to do so. Plus, you can go back and look at what you've read and see what needs to be read next if its in a series. I've been trying to read books I haven't read before, I also think I'm going to have to reread a few book that I've read many, many years ago just to make sure that they are on my blog.

Books are a great way for me to escape the world I seem to be in. Sometimes though a book will make me feel strongly about something and I'll wish the book had another one to it or I'll wish that a series would continue but, it doesn't. Reading is a great way to pass the time when I'm not busy having to do other things.

I've been told to many times that I'm a bookworm. I'm hardly without a book. I read so much that people will ask me why I always have a book. I just tell them that you never know when you'll have the time to read a few pages. I have read ebooks, I'd rather feel the book in my hand and until they actually stop making real books I will continue to read that way.

I'm 55 years old now. I'm hoping to finish the series I haven't finished. I'm also starting some new series. I'm still hoping to hit a good quota of books before I may not be able to read any more. There are so many books out there to read and being I'm not a fast reader, I'm hoping to find new authors I might enjoy. 

My love of book started when I was young with the first picture book I ever got from my dad. I had problems with reading when I was in school, so it took me along time to realize that a book could take me places I've never been before. 

Young adult or teen books are easy for me to understand. Thrillers and suspense books are my favorite. Love murder mysteries, nothing wrong with a good romantic story line . Fantasy takes me into world's that show me ideas where life for the character's can tough but, worth it in the long run. 

The more I read. I learn something about life.

  1. Hi!

    My name is Maren Dille, and I'm scheduling a blog tour for my new YA fantasy novel, The Faith and Fate of David Ghent. A brief summary is included at the end of this email. The tour will run from March 4-15, with 1-2 blogs per day. I'll be giving away e-copies and paperbacks of my novel, as well as some other prizes.

    Would you consider doing a review, or running an excerpt from the book? If not a review, I would also love to do an author interview, be a guest blogger for that date, or be spotlighted. I'd be happy to send you a digital copy in your preferred e-book format.

    If you'd like to see what dates are still available, you can look here at http://marendille.blogspot.com/p/the-faith-and-fate-of-david-ghent-blog.html

     You can find out more about me at http://marendille.blogspot.com/, or more about The Faith and Fate of David Ghent on its Amazon page, here: The Faith and Fate of David Ghent

    Here is a brief summary:
    "In the Lucen city dwell the descendants of Righteous and Fallen angels. Kept hidden from the rest of Earth and governed directly by Heaven, each descendant is given a chance to prove themself loyal to Heaven, and obtain salvation. For most, the task is encouraging and fair, but for David, it’s devastating.
    David Ghent has waited twenty-one years to fulfill a prophecy foretelling the destruction of Lucifer’s power on Earth and Heaven, saving himself and the entire world from Hell’s power. His training is complete, the city prepared.
    As the battle commences, the city’s most beloved daughter, Layla, suddenly appears at the Hellgate. David is then faced with an impossible choice: fulfill the prophecy, or save her life.
    The consequences David faces after choosing Layla force him to question his entire life, and his loyalty to Heaven. As the aftermath of failure unfolds, David discovers that the real battle against Lucifer has just begun."

    I look forward to hearing from you!

    Thank you for your consideration,
    Maren Dille
