About

Welcome to our little corner of the blogosphere!  Celebrity Readers was initially created so that two superfans could share their SERIOUS love of reading with the world in our own unique and crazy ways.  While there is only one reader currently populating new content on the site, you will see hundreds of posts in the archives from both of us.

This page continues to remain a place to share whichever books I come across.  I am *still* not accepting requests for reviews from outside sources (though I do sign up for ARCs of my own accord).  I know that’s a bummer as a new author, but it’s just not something I’m interested in.

Now to introduce the Celebrity Readers!  Lenore is the sole contributor from September 2020 on.

I’m a certified Trophy Wife (it’s on my LinkedIn profile) living in Western Canada, spending my days getting lost in the pages of a good book.  My reading obsession started at an early age (from BSC to my Mom’s Danielle Steele books to Harlequins), and it has only grown more out of hand with the purchase of my first kindle in 2011.  I love a wide range of books, but in general they all share one common trait: at least a hint of romance.  While I tend to be up for anything, I seem to lack enthusiasm for historical books… apparently I need a somewhat modern (or futuristic) setting to really grab my attention.  I’ve had the privilege of beta reading for numerous extraordinary authors, and I consider it my small claim to fame when I’m mentioned in the acknowledgements of a book.

Note: I tend to tag every book review with both an age and a genre.  I am weird in that I don’t see Young Adult and New Adult as genres, but ages.  And for me, personally, those ages indicate the ages of the characters, not the reader.  So a Young Adult book may have sex in it, though I will tend to try to tag those as Mature Young Adult.  Just wanted to clarify in case anyone was confused by my tags. (I’m also fairly strict in what I classify as New Adult, so that may catch people offguard as well).

I’m totally new to the blogging deal, so bear with me on this ‘about’ section.  I hail from the lovely San Francisco Bay Area and I met Lenore when I joined a street team that she is on. From there our joy of reading blossomed into a wonderful friendship.  I love most genres, my favorite being science fiction/fantasy adventure and all the subgenres they include.  I’m a sucker for great dialogue and most books I read tend to have a bit or romance in them.  In addition to being a reader, I’m part of several street teams and sometimes I’m asked to beta-read for my favorite authors, which always makes me feel super special.  Oh yeah, I am also a full-time daily grinder, wife, college student and mother to a future hair-stylist. (At least that’s what the kid decided today)
