Hi everyone. First off thank you for taking the time to check out our humble book club's blog.  I really hope you enjoy our candid conversations on books and wine. By no means do I consider myself a professional writer or author but I have a love of great books that help me escape into another world. I love it when a book gets into my skin and my dreams. Over the years I’ve learned that I love Romantic novels. A great unbelievable love story full of passion and excitement are the best. I also love fiction that involves romance  but also kick ass ladies. I fell in love with the Anita Blake series by Laural K. Hamilton and that’s where I found my true love of series. That one series spanded years of my life and I loved every minute of each book. 

A bit about me. I’m 35 years old and my life consist of two jobs. Working full time in the corporate world and being a full time single mom. Since the birth of my son I have had nothing but baby on my mind and now after two years I have come to the realization that I have become an active member of frumphood. Sweat pants and t- shirts became a staple in my wardrobe. Ever since my son was born I have practically lived in my beloved sweats. I completely let myself go. My brain only focused on giving my son everything and anything my two small hands can to make his young life easy. After all he is my first and only child. Why not right?( sounding sarcastic) With my pregnancy and all the other drama that went on in my life around the time my son was born I completely let myself go and I solely lived only to work and take care of my son. This frazzled mom needed to do something. I woke up one day, took a long look and thus MOM-OF-TORNADO was born. I started my own blog that chronicles my life and my journey to crawl out of the frumphood I have sunk into. I took up a weight loss challenge and the challenge to leave my sweats at home. I noticed that just because I’m a single mom, it did not mean I had to just forget my own interest and my own looks. I don’t know how long this journey will take but I have a goal and I will reach it.

This brings me to Reading and Winen. What does being in a book club mean to me? It’s an activity that I do for me, not for my son or my job but for me. I get to use the books I read to escape into my fantasy world and bring them to my real world. Share my opinions over great food and beverages. The group of women I have joined have become in the short time we reunited some of my best friends that I see being in my life for the rest of my life. Books are forever and so is this book club.

Again I hope you enjoy our ride as much as we do. To all the authors, readers, writers, we appreciate all you do because as I write this I know it’s not easy putting yourself out there. Thank you for allowing me to see thru your characters eyes.
