Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Annaberry Reads! My name is Anna, and I am really excited to finally have my own blog. I had debated about starting a blog for about two years, but only recently decided to take the plunge. I realized that I have hundreds of books that I've read over the recent years, yet I have only written a handful of reviews for them. I wanted to have something to show for all those books, especially my favorites. I needed a place to go back and read what I was thinking during that time, and how those books impacted me. My memory just isn't what it used to be (boy do I sound old), so having reviews will be a great refresher. I will likely start reviewing books that I am currently reading, but I plan to have a day of the week where I will go back to one the oldies and either write a review just simply reminisce about it.

Ok, about me. I am an avid reader and part time student. I am also a wife to a wonderful, hard working husband, and the mother to three awesome kids. I read a lot as a child and teenager. My first favorites were Little House on the Prairie, Anne of Green Gables, The Babysitters Club, and The Sweet Valley Twins. As a teenager, I loved reading the VC Andrews books. For some reason I stopped reading once I got to my twenties, but then a few years ago, my teenagers insisted that I read Twilight. I wasn't sure what to think of a teenage vampire book, but I read it anyways to oblige them. As you can guess, I got sucked in. Big time. Now I adore paranormal books, as well as Fantasy, YA, NA, and Dystopian. I also like historical fiction and some contemporary romance. I'm not super picky, and I love recommendations.

If you've gotten this far, thank you for being here! I hope to meet some great bloggers and chit chat about books and just everyday things. Oh! If you are wondering where the name Annaberry comes from- it's a nickname a few of my friends gave me on Goodreads. See, awhile back,  I had mentioned that I was called Anna Banana a lot growing up, and I got a little tired of it. A friend suggested Annaberry, and I thought it was really cute. So it kind of stuck. :)
