Welcome to Bookshelf Journeys. My goal is to encourage, support and enrich your reading life. I'll share reviews, news, decorating and gift ideas - whatever might be of interest. Let's talk books!

Understanding that reviews are very subjective, I'll be doing my best to give you enough information to decide if a particular book is for you.
