My Lifetime Love of Reading by LSUReader + Giveaway

We are happy to welcome LSUReader here at our Book Lovers United celebration. When we started brainstorming about who to ask for a guest post she was on the list ASAP but we weren’t sure if she would agree. She isn’t a blogger like the rest of our guests. So we were unbelievably proud and happy happy when she agreed to come over. LSUReader will tell us about her life and how tightly reading is woven into it. Please give her an extra warm welcome. Mom must have read to me in utero. I can’t remember a time in my life when I didn’t love reading.
What I can remember is sitting on my father’s lap in his living room recliner, while he taught me to read from Dr. Seuss books. I was four. He’d pronounce each word carefully, then read the sentence completely, with …

I read for the HEA as well, but Paul Marron has a lot to do with my enjoyment of romance novels.


I was one of those people who didn’t read romances in their youth. While my friends and my family members were reading romances, I was reading mysteries and sci-fi. In college, I did read some Harlequins but all those young …

I haunted the Tucson Public Library as a kid, ghosting through the stacks, slipping like a silent shade past rows of books that towered above me like idols built of ink and paper. The air smelled of musty books and metal shelving. I’d peer at the titles arranged on the shelves, pull them gently from the packed rows, read the back blurbs, and scrutinize the cover art on books I’d …
