Welcome to The Sweet Bookshelf!
About the Blog:
The Sweet Bookshelf was founded in June 2009. I am located in Scotland. I started this book blog because friends and family were always asking me for recommendations of books I thought they would enjoy. I thought it would be a one stop shop for them to see what I'd been reading. I had no idea there were people who blogged about books! I've always believed the best way to find out about a great book is word of mouth. We are always talking books here!
I generally read about 2 books per week. Right now I am really into Young Adult, Contemporary, Romance, Fairytale's, Fantasy, some Historical, and anything with a bit of romance. OK, actually everything I read needs to have a bit of romance.
Here you'll find mainly book reviews, news, and even some author interviews. I love keeping a log of what I'm reading and how I felt about it. Check out the Discussions page and join in the fun! See you there!
