Hello internet, and welcome to my little corner of the book-obsessed world! My love for reading started at a young age, as I plowed through books as quickly as I could manage and road my bike to the library as often as my mom would let me. As I entered college, completed my doctorate degree, got married and started a family, books have always been my escape and my entertainment of choice. In recent years, my reading has taken off and I’m constantly searching for my next favorite author and next favorite book!
I love discovering new authors, especially indie authors who are just getting started on their writing journeys. The Bookstagram community on Instagram is such a great place to connect with others about books! I enjoy reading many different types of books, from contemporary romance to thrillers. I try to vary my reading and you can oftentimes find me reading (or listening!) to many different books at a time!
My husband, son and I currently live in the suburbs of Chicago, but spend a lot of time in southwest Michigan where we love to be in the summer and many weekends of the year. We have a miniature schnauzer named Lola, and we love being outdoors and exploring nature. I also enjoy cooking and baking, especially keto/low-carb meals!
I would love to connect with you! I love finding new books and new authors, and enjoy spreading the word and writing honest reviews on Good Reads and Amazon. I love beta reading books and connecting personally with authors who are looking for feedback on their works in progress. You can contact me at martaisreadingblog@gmail.com. Thank you for joining me!
