A Few Things about me.........






I am a natural curly haired redhead which is why my name here is Redlady. I am an avid reader and love to talk about books! I have loved books since the first grade when my wonderful teacher inspired in me the love of books. I started a neighborhood book club several years ago and we read a variety of books and have had some great discussions as well about them. I am married to a wonderful guy and have a spirited son (who keeps us on our toes and young at heart...or we try!!)who has major food allergies so I am frequently reading a book about food allergies and health issues. I am a member of Weight Watchers and have lost 27 lbs. in the past year. I love their philosophy "Stop dieting. Start living" which is truly the way to live a healthy life. I am interested in health and reading books about healthy eating, nutrition, organic foods etc. I have many favorite genres of books that I read...Women's fiction, Literature, Historical fiction, memoirs/journal style books, some mysteries. I also am a newbie knitter and enjoy reading fictional books about knitting. I love coffee and tea and collect tea cups. I also have a collection of cookbooks and enjoy reading foodie books as well. I am going to try and stay away from controversial subjects (such as religion, politics etc. So many people, including myself, have such strong opinions and it can turn too negative. I do reserve the right to change my mind on this as I may find something compelling to post on as I do have strong views on several issues. Please stop by often and share your comments. Please be patient as this blog is a work in progress!!

  2. Hi Bonnie, your blog is taking great shape. I noticed your LT early reviewers and that reminds me that I still haven't received my first book. It's been over 2 weeks since they notified me. I guess they did say it could take a while because the publisher sends the books. I just can't wait to receive it! It's not like I have nothing else to read, LOL.

  3. Thanks Lynne and Mary!

    I am getting the hang of this and added a few more things and trying other things.

    Mary-It can take awhile to get the early reviewer books as they do come directly from the publishers and can take awhile. I have gotten 3 books so far and one took much longer than the other 2. I was trying to get my library thing library on my blog like you have but couldn't figure out how to do it. Do you have it set up as a widget?

  4. I think it was a widget - easy to get from LT.
