Keeping a Tidy Home for the Insatiably Literate

Although I am literate, I’m not literally a housewife.  I live in Virginia, act as a Senior Business Systems Analyst during the day, and live as a wife and mother of two young daughters by night.  Oh, and did I mention that I love to read?

This all started in 2007 when I decided that I needed to do something that had absolutely nothing to do with my work or home life. When I was thinking about that, I came up with the idea to set a goal of reading 52 books before the end of the year.  This blog was created to journal about what I’ve read and discuss other book or reading related topics as they come up.

I met my original goal by reading 54 books.  I read 78 in 2008, but I don’t necessarily aim that high again this year, but I will definitely keep reading and reviewing books here.  As my friend Kristin reminded me, I’ve always wanted to live in a room above a garage (like Fonzie for whatever reason).  The Literate Housewife Review has become that room for me and I love having as many guests as care to stop by for a visit.
