If you don’t understand the life of a book reviewer, the title might leave you wondering, “What else would you do?” Well, as a book reviewer, I am offered more “free” books — advanced copies for review — than I could ever read. There are books that sound interesting, but in order to honor the people sending it out, if I can’t get to it within a reasonable time after it publishes, I won’t accept it, so I certainly am careful about books I pay to bring into my house.

I still love books, and I still visit bookstores, especially on vacation. The books I buy tend to be for my kids, though we do review books together as well. But while browsing my Facebook feed this weekend, I realized that a book sequel that Kyle and I had been waiting for had been released, so I hopped over to amazon and ordered right away.
