After my success at On a Book Bender, I decided to create my own space for even more book reviews and posts about books! I am the sole contributor at this time and am thrilled at the early success and new opportunities I have been granted through Girl with Book Lungs. I post book reviews and look forward to joining book tours in the near future.www.girlwithbooklungs.comwww.facebook.com/girlwithbooklungswww.twitter.com/booklungs

I am fortunate to do something I truly love at On a Book Bender: write and share book reviews. My responsibilities include two book reviews each month, as well as the Blind Date with a Book feature that runs monthly.

I worked as a reporter covering the events and activities in West Allis, Wisconsin.I also later worked as an Arts & Entertainment critic.
