Puss Reboots: Blog: May 2011: Armchair BEA: Welcome to Puss Reboots

Armchair BEA logo - designed by yours trulyWelcome to Puss Reboots: A Book Review a Day. If you're new here, welcome! If you're a regular, welcome back.

I am currently half way though my second round of graduate school. This time I'm learning library and information science. I hope to become a children's librarian in a public library. Reference librarian would also be good; I love trying to answer questions. I'm also qualified to run a corporate / intranet library; that's what I was doing before I went back to school.

Some book blogs specialize in a specific genre; I don't. While I would love to say that I read everything, that wouldn't be honest either. Although I would never tell someone not to read something, there are something that I personally have little to no interest in reading. I don't see the point in writing a negative review that is probably mostly a reflection of my own personal bias.

My blog is completely self built. Since the website it's sitting on dates back to 1997, the book blog isn't a blog in the most formal sense. It isn't using a blogging platform (wordpress or similar). This mostly means that all comments have to be moderated as there is no mechanism for them to self post. I try to get the comments approved, posted and replied to in a timely manner. Please don't panic if your comment doesn't show up immediately.

Unless I'm ill or traveling (and don't have access to the internet), I post a review each and every day. I've managed to post at least one review of either a book, picture book or short story each and every day (including holidays) since 2007. I have posted over 2000 reviews and you can see the entire alphabetized list by title or by author (currently more than 1400 authors represented).

The Seven Things I Review Most:

Children's Literature

Since children's literature comprises everything for ages 0 to 17, I break up the reviews into three sub-sections: chapter books / older readers (ages 9 and up), monster books (because my kids love them so much) and picture books (ages 0 to 8).
