My name is Nancy and I am an avid reader from the San Francisco, bay area.

I love to read and I relish the fact that within the pages of a story I can loose myself and become the heroine, fly that plane, man the ship or ride that horse that will take me to far away lands and adventure. When times are most worrisome it is my books that I seek for refuge and solace and am always comforted by those words that bring me endless joy.

Although I am an adult, my blog specializes in Young Adult reads and I favor Paranormal, Fantasy, Dystopian, Steam Punk and Post-Apocalyptic Fiction, but am also venturing out of my "comfort" zones and enjoying other genres. 

True happiness for me is great book, a good cup of coffee and a comfy chair. 

Ahhh... for me, that is utter bliss.

"Books may well be the only true magic." Alice Hoffman

"Book-love, I say again, lasts throughout life, it never flags or fails, but, like Beauty itself, is a joy forever." The Anatomy of Bibliomana Vol.II - Holbrook Jackson
