Reading has always been a favorite pastime of mine, even when I was a little girl. I would obsess over my favorite books, re-reading them over and over again. As Kathleen Kelly says in the ever-so-lovely film You’ve Got Mail, “When you read a book as a child, it becomes part of your identity in a way that no other reading in your whole life does.” And I could not agree more!

Synopsis:
1987. There’s only one person who has ever truly understood fourteen-year-old June Elbus, and that’s her uncle, the renowned painter Finn Weiss. Shy at school and distant from her older sister, June can only be herself in Finn’s company; he is her godfather, confidant, and best friend. So when he dies, far too young, of a mysterious illness her mother can barely speak about, June’s world is turned upside down. But Finn’s death brings a surprise acquaintance into June’s life – someone who will help her to heal, and to question what she thinks she knows about Finn, her family, and even her own heart.

It’s official! I have decided to start a Book Blog! I am super excited to start this journey, as well as nervous and feeling, more than a little bit, like I don’t quite know what I’m doing. But, that is all part of the process, no?
I love to read. It is probably one of the only things that I know I do everyday, other than eating and sleeping. And I love to talk about what I’m reading. Unfortunately, my poor husband can only listen to me talk about books for so long before he starts to tune me out 😉
