numero uno

okie dokie so i still think blogs are silly (and i really hate the word "blog", it's terrible) and i'm sure nobody really cares what i think about the books i read (especially since most of them are for kids...) but i like most of them and for some reason feel compelled to let the internet know that they exist and they're good (or crap). for those of you who don't know me*, i work at a local bookstore and feel like the little 3-sentence-long rec tags i write for the shelves, because of their size and my inability to be concise, do not provide an entirely accurate portrayal of my views of the book. not that lengthening the review will guarantee you'll know exactly what i thought when i read it, but, it'll help...maybe.
anywho, yeah. don't ever feel obligated to read this if you know me* because you know me, i won't bring it up in conversation or quiz you about the most recent posted book...i really don't care. i'm also not going to pretend i'll be even a little regular with these things. just, when i have free time, if there's anything i've read recently that's worth mentioning, it'll be up here. i'll also try to include an age guide to let y'all know whether the book is for adults or kids and maybe it'll help some of you find things to gift to young'uns, maybe?
i highly encourage dialogue from you guys, if you're interested--whether it's a question about what i've said or what i've neglected to mention, your own experience with the book, or a recommendation of another book.
anywho, that's it for my first post. happy reading!

*if you don't know me...who are you, how did you find this, and what possessed you to read it? don't get me wrong, you're as welcome as anyone...it's the internet and trying to claim that anything on the internet is exclusive would be really dumb and defeat the purpose of posting it there. i'm just curious about any readership i've acquired from people who aren't forced to socialize with me on a regular basis and feel, out of guilt, that they have to pay some attention to this despite that entire paragraph stating pretty much that they can completely ignore it. anyways, stranger, hello! and what's up?
