Starting this blog kicked off a  series of events and feelings that went like this:

-“I have a blog, I’m so embarrassed.”

-“I have a blog, but I think it’s kind of fun.”

-“I have a blog and people actually read it, cool!”

-“I have a blog and the format is annoying me.”

-“Sarah thanks for helping me get a new cooler blog!”

-“I love my new cooler blog!”

-“I have a blog and you should read it!”

-“I’m having so much fun I think I should start another!”

And so I started The Books Behind the Willows. I have never actually come out and mentioned it because it is a site of book reviews. Since I have only reviewed books that I have read since starting it it seemed foolish to say “OO OOO look at my new blog… with one lame book review on it”. But now I have thirteen reviews that I think are not so lame, so now I’m saying “OOO OOO look at my new(ish) blog!”

It just so happened that today’s post morphed into a bit of an explanation of why I write what I write in the reviews which made me think this might be a  good opportunity to formally introduce it. So, say hello to The Books Behind the Willows.  You can reach it by either clicking on my nicely highlighted links here or on the text at the top of the page. There you will find books I have read in the last two months and a few children’s books as well. I’m always looking for reading suggestions for myself and the girls and so would love comments with any suggestions or with your thoughts on any of the books!

Stay tuned, the last event in my series of thoughts was like this…

“If two is good three is better right?”
