Blogger Breakdown: Keri

Helloooo There! 

So, this is a little bit about ME! My name is Keri. I'm a 29 year old, single, stay at home Mom to 4 wonderful kids and two spoiled cats. The breakdown of the kids is 3 boys and 1 girl- ages 1, 4, 6 and 7! Yeah, I'm busy. But it's awesome, too. Sometimes. ;) My favourite food is anything loaded with carbs, and my favourite colour is the many shades of green. I have an obnoxious love for music from the 90s and little to-no ability to dance, but that doesn't stop me! 

I've always had a passion for reading. My nose was always in a book growing up, throughout school I was probably the only one that didn't complain about having to do another book report. For several years though, life got in the way and I stopped reading. A couple of years ago now, Caitlin and I decided to start reading again, as a way to do something other than parent, and give us more to talk about other than droning on about our everyday lives. We sunk right in, with the Hunger Games Trilogy, and followed it up with Fifty Shades of Grey. We were hooked, we got right back in, and we haven't stopped since. I'm also pretty sure I made up for those lost years too, with all the nights I've stayed up reading (hahaha). 

Several months ago now, Caitlin said "I want to start a blog. Wanna help me out in whatever capacity you can?" And I said "Let's do it!!" and it took off from there. We've watched this page grow from 10 of our friends to 2300, and it's still climbing. We are so excited that everyone shares our love of reading, and enjoys what we're working toward- supporting new and debut authors. 

Over time, I've developed some favourites, books with themes I always return to (Maaaan, I love me some commandos!). But there's still some books that I can read and re-read and never get sick of. Books that stuck, books that helped in that moment in time and help give me some perspective to life. Here's my top 10 books in no particular order. Do we have any shared favourites?
