About LDSWBR

We are passionate about reading. We hope the love we have for books, a love which you most likely share, shows in what we do on this website and in the podcast.

Hi! For those of you who don’t know me, I’m a wife, mother of four (3 daughters, 1 son), and lover of good books.

I have always loved to read. My mom told me I was reading the TV Guide before I started kindergarten. The first “grown-up” book I read was Shadow’s Song by Dorothy Keddington. My best friend, Hillary, loaned me her mother’s copy in junior high. I loved it, reading the rest of Dorothy Keddington’s books shortly after. I was hooked on the “good story.” I’ve spent the last 15+ years looking for and finding it. I love fiction, especially stories that are so well written you can’t stop thinking about the characters as if they were real people you know. It helps if there’s a good romance, too.

I also enjoy scrapbooking, photography, movies, walking, being in the mountains, crocheting, instrumental music (especially Celtic music) and dark mint chocolate. Happy reading!

I am a 5′10 beautiful blonde, with a handsome hubby, and children that are all above average. Okay, well- the last two parts are true. I am really about 5′6, dark brown hair etc. But hey, it’s fun pretending right?

Anyway, I am a non-fiction junkie, but am finding myself totally drawn to mystery-suspense these days. I used to be a romance only kind of girl, but I am lovin’ the suspense. I have 5 beautiful munchkins, 4 girls and 1 boy. I just graduated from massage therapy school and will at some point pursue doing massage on a more full time basis. For now, I work part-time for JetBlue and, no, I really don’t travel much I am a hockey lovin’ freak (go Av’s!) and play for a local women’s team. I dream of having num-chuck skills and would love to be able to break a board with my head someday. Because I’m LDS, I scrapbook. It kind of works out well that I like it too One day I will write a book. Have no idea what it’ll be about, maybe the digestive abilites of African Beetles. Who knows- but it will happen one day:)
