About

Welcome to my book review blog!  I am so excited to meet a fellow book addict lover!

Let me start by asking you a question...

Have you ever had a friend tell you about something that they really liked?  Then you went out, bought it, and really liked it, too?

Maybe it was a fashionable shirt they found on sale, or a new low-calorie dessert recipe, or perhaps it was even some new gadget of some sort.

Now when you wear that shirt, eat that yummy food, or use that handy gadget, you can't imagine what you did without this new thing.

So what's this have to do with me and my book review blog?

Well...

...everything!

My desire (and prayer) is for my reviews to encourage you to read books that not only will you enjoy, but that will impact your life.  I hope you read a 4 or 5 star book and wonder how you lived without knowing what you know now.  I want to be the friend that shares the latest and greatest books with another friend.

Now let me take a moment to introduce myself...

My name is Mandy and, as you might have guessed, I really enjoy reading.  A lot.  In fact, my loving husband refers to it as my addiction.  I'll be honest with you - sometimes he is right.

My love for books began when I was little and I have my Mother and Grandmother to thank for that!  I spent my teen years immersed in Christian Teen Fiction and in Christian Romance Novels.  When I was about to get married, I began to branch out to the Christian Living genre in hopes of learning about becoming a godly wife and I soon discovered an even deeper love for reading books that encourage my walk with Christ.

Since 2001 I have been an avid reader of 90% Christian Living or what I like to call "spiritual growth" books.  I still mix in some fiction along the way for a balanced diet, but now my goal is to read for growth, not just pure relaxation.  And I enjoy it even more than before!

Besides being an avid reader, I'm a wife to a pastor, a stay-at-home-mom to 3 children, and I like to bake, cook, clean, organize, scrapbook, and mommy-blog, too.  You can visit my everyday blog at www.DailyCupOfGrace.com.  Most importantly though, I am a child of God with a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.  I read and review books for the glory of God and pray that my reviews will encourage you and your walk with Christ.  For anyone who would like to know more about who I am, you can read this post about my family and I.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by!  I look forward to getting to know other avid readers and would appreciate you leaving a comment so I can visit you in return.

From one reader to another...
