Getting started

(I thought it's funny how the name of my first post is getting started... is not creative at all, I bet most people put that tittle on their first post, but I wasn't sure of what to put so I went with the obvious...)
Anyway, I'm starting this blog so I can review the book "Comming Attractions" by Robin Jones Gunn. They publisher is sending me a free copy so I can review it here and I have to say it`s an honor and a pleasure.
But since I haven`t got the book yet I thought should write a little about how I started reading Robin`s books and how much I love them!
I started reading the Christy Miller Series when I was around 12 years old I believe, and I remember the first time I read "Summer promise". My mom`s friend lent her this book because her daughter read and loved it and she thought that I might like it too, since I always enjoyed reading.
I remember starting reading it after school, I think I was hooked from the beginning, 10 years later I`m still here, waiting to get my hands on her latest book from that series.
I feel like I have grown up with these characters, and in some way I really have. I know as much as there is to know about them. Me and a few friends even talk about them sometimes, as if they were real people! We comment on their actions and thoughts and what we would want to happen and what we think of someone, things like that. It`s fun.

For years me and my friends have discussed the books and I even got to met Robin once, when she went to my church in Brazil, back in 2006. So, I`m very glad to have this opportunity to actually share my opinion with her and anyone else who reads this.

Look out for my review as soon as I get the book.
