Welcome

Welcome to The Sweet Bookshelf!


About the Blog:

The Sweet Bookshelf was founded in June 2009.  I am located in Scotland. I started this book blog because friends and family were always asking me for recommendations of books I thought they would enjoy.  I thought it would be a one stop shop for them to see what I'd been reading.  I had no idea there were people who blogged about books! I've always believed the best way to find out about a great book is word of mouth. We are always talking books here!

I generally read about 2 books per week. Right now I am really into Young Adult, Contemporary, Romance, Fairytale's, Fantasy, some Historical, and anything with a bit of romance.  OK, actually everything I read needs to have a bit of romance.

Here you'll find mainly book reviews, news, and even some author interviews.  I love keeping a log of what I'm reading and how I felt about it.  Check out the Discussions page and join in the fun! See you there!

  5. Hi Mary!

    I just found your blog (via a post on Lori Caswell's blog about the Literary Road Trip) - you have a great blog!

    BTW - you can still do the LRT from Scotland. Even though people in the US sign up for a state, ex-US participants can choose a country! Hope you join!
