Review Policy

Me at Hampton Court Palace

I am a thirty year old book-a-vore. I will devour almost anything Fiction and I have a knack for picking books that I will really enjoy just by reading the cover flap. I am a girl geek who works for Yahoo Inc, and no I cannot fix your computer. I have lived all over the world and being back in the States is the stop point for a while, our kids need some sense of normalcy and deserve to go to the same school for a while. Next stop is either Argentina, Spain, Portugal, Chile, New Zealand, or Australia.
