My dream job has always been to get paid to read. Well, I got it! Sort of......
Lisa Takeuchi Cullen, a Time magazine journalist, who does the most relevant blog for my demographic, has sent me a whole load of books to review. I volunteered on her blog to review 1 book, Scream Free Parenting which had been sent to her. Instead today I received 4 bookes including the original commitment. And wholly unexpectedly my payment has been a complimentary signed copy of the book she wrote, Remember Me.
OK, so I won't be retiring anytime soon but I did very nearly buy this book off Amazon just because I really like what Lisa writes on her blog. And the subject of Remember Me is fascinating: Death. Besides, my copy I couldn't have bought of Amazon. Lisa wrote me a wee little note. She even spelled me night correctly!
Now it has just dawned on me that I have 5 books to read. My dream future could be at stake. Oh the pressure! Deep breaths.....I can do this!

Congratulations! You'll enjoy doing these reviews.
oh how cool! getting a dream job! you can do it. =)
I, too, like to read. Your reviews are real informative and I have started a list of books you have liked that I would like to read. Since I get my books at the library, I am still waiting to read The Kite Runner.
