I'm a voracious reader who enjoys sharing good books with other readers, which I do by posting reviews right here on this blog. I revel in using my imagination and reading lets my mind roam free in a fantasy world for hours on end even sometimes (if I'm lucky) after I've finished a book. My favorite genres include romance, fantasy, and historicals although a bit of adventure and suspense always spices up the show. Books can transport me anywhere, to any period in time and even to fictional worlds and cultures if I so choose. It's only a matter of picking up the right books. The best writers are those who make me forget there's a real world outside the story I'm reading. Authors, Publishers and Publicists if you have books you'd like me to consider for review please use the inquiries email for this site. I can't promise specific review dates but will post reviews as promptly as I am able to read the books. If the books are sent without contacting me first I cannot promise a review but if they are of interest to me I will attempt to work them into the reading schedule. In addition to Bibliophile's Retreat, I very occasionally write poetry as well as introspective reflection pieces which you can find on Journey of Trust. I do proofreading and copyediting as well as offering Virtual Assistant services for a variety of needs.
