What's this all about?

Hello one and all!  Welcome to Rachel's Reads.  This blog has come about for a number of reasons.  First and foremost, I love to read a good book.  Where most people panic when they've discovered they left their cell phone at home, I panic when I realize I left my Kindle or book  by my bedside.  My books come with me, so that when I have a minute, I can go wherever they choose to take me.

Now what, I ask you, is the point of reading a good book without being able to discuss it with someone?  Isn't that half the fun?  Over the years, I have become the local go-to-girl for my family and friends whenever they need a good book. I can't tell you how many times someone has asked me, "what should I read next?"  It is to these people, and anyone else who has ever asked that question, that I am dedicating this blog.  So I will try to keep you informed and - more importantly - entertained by my books and my opinions, so that the next time you wonder what you should read, you know where to go to find the answer.  

Happy reading!
