Hi, I’m Laura and I love to read and review books. Ever since I learned how to read I have found that books take me on a journey that is filled with excitement and wonder. There is nothing like reading and using my imagination to take myself to another worlds and also meet new and intriguing characters. I enjoy sharing my feelings about the stories that I read through my reviews. Nothing is better than sitting down for the afternoon with a book and eating chocolate. I read a wide variety of different genres and I am always ready to start a new story. When not reading I love to bake and I also have birds that I care for. They are wonderful to listen to when they chirp and sing. I also enjoy online gaming. I live in California and enjoy that there is so many different and fun places to visit in the state. A couple of my favorite places to visit is San Francisco and Disneyland.

My name is Sara, I live in a small town where it rains a lot, so I read a lot. I have a large dog who likes to cuddle and a husband who is also known to like a cuddle at times. I’m an easy-going sort of person, I like multiple genres of books and music but and tend to swing from thriller to alien baby romance and country to hard metal and everything in between. I like to read and listen according to my mood. I love reading and will give anything a try, I always make sure I finish every book I read and try to see the positive in the book, much like in life if you can find one positive it can change your perspective on everything. I work as a manager in a sheltered housing project, so I spend my day being amazed by people many of which are twice my age. They tell some amazing stories and keep me on my toes. I love wine and food and my idea of a perfect time would be spent whiling away a cozy weekend with nice wine and food a roaring fire and a couple of great reads on the kindle.

I was born and raised in Lancaster County, PA. After graduation, I spent 2 years in Pittsburgh, PA, attending The Art Institute of Pittsburgh and then moved to Las Vegas, NV, where I was a resident for 12 years. I then decided to move back to the east coast and have been a resident of Southern Delaware for 7 years.

While I was in Vegas, I got into the printing industry, starting in prepress work. Almost 20 years later, I am still in printing and have done many jobs, including running a digital press. I currently work third shift in Hurlock Maryland, where I do desktop work and press maintenance.

I live with my boyfriend, and our 3 spoiled cats. I am addicted to coffee, frequently have my nose stuck in a book (or to my tablet), and enjoy doing plastic canvas crafts in my spare time. Classic movies are very much my thing. I have seen many, but I especially love the classic horror moves and noir. I am also a huge Phillies and Eagles fan.

Hi Everyone, my name is Chantelle Smith - I’m 25 and live in the UK.

To sum me up In 3 Words: Loud, Quirky, CHOCOLATE.

I’m a working single mum with a 7-year-old son called Ollie who is your everyday typical boy. My Weekend Mornings are spent at Football Training and cheering him and his team on at football matches (in all weathers). I’m creative and have a vivid imagination which is why I think I enjoy reading so much - each book transports me into another world for that short amount of time until the next book I pick up and I start all over again.

I’ve been a member of Itsy Bitsy for about 2 years now, and becoming a reviewer is one of the best things I have done. It gives me the chance to find new authors and explore genres I wouldn’t normally read. I love to read, romance, contemporary, erotica, paranormal, thriller, fantasy, comedy, dystopian, action and adventure. But my latest favourite type of books involves hunky MC’s, Vampires & Werewolves.

is suspense or rockstar romance. My favorite authors to read are Nora Roberts and Daniel Steel. I’m so glad that I joined the IBBB team. They are like a second family to me.

Hi my name is Lisa Helmick. I have been with IBBB since 2016. Reviewing books started as fun (let’s see if i can do it) and has opened me up to different genres that I would not have read before. I have always been a reader. I think I just love the imaginations of other people. The worlds, the people and the imaginary situations created just interests me. Sometimes I wonder.....”How did they come up with this?”

I am a person who enjoys a good laugh and likes to smile. So Romantic Comedies are my favorite type of read. Mysteries and thrillers also come in pretty high on the list just not super dark or scary ones. Heart pounding - blood pumping stories from the thrill not the horror. Those genres along with some paranormal shifter and I am good to go.

In my spare time (ha ha who has that?) I enjoy many different things. Obviously reading. But I have been involved with Retired racing greyhounds since 2003.

Over the years we have done everything from fostering them to shows where we educate the public on them. I also kayak and have enjoyed doing that since 2009. Going down a river is my favorite thing....well that and riding giant waves on a windy day (can you say Yee-Haw). Recently we have been watching races (locally). Just the IMCA Modifieds and stock cars. One last thing is hiking. I enjoy being outdoors and hiking up the side of a mountain is one of my favorite things. So peaceful!

I am a grown up bookworm that still prefers books and imaginary world to the reality of our insane world. I always thought that there are three things I cannot imagine living without – books, music and movies – but when I was living in African bush for 6 months then I realized there is only one thing that I cannot live without and it was BOOKS!

I love the written world and I have been reading since I was 3 year old! I read almost anything under the sun, I believe that the books give us unparalleled opportunity to experience the world without really leaving our home … they feed our imagination and our soul; they give us courage and heal the wounds … whether it is romance, thriller, paranormal or erotica …

My journey has taken be growing up in Estonia under Soviet rule to the UK, to Africa and then to the US. I have read in Estonian, Russian, Finnish, German, Swedish and English … it has opened up my world so much, being able to read some of the books in their original language

Now that I’m settled in my job and my two beautiful daughters are grown, I have time to read! I love to loose myself in all kinds of genres, that is why Itsy Bitsy is the best place to be, so many choices!

Hello from the middle of it all in Nebraska. I have been here for the most of the last twenty years of my life and have also built roots here, so corn it is! I have a wonderful and sassy (She gets that from me) eleven year old. I’m pretty lucky to have my hubby. It has been a long and at times rocky fifteen years but that man is my life. In my spare time you will usually find me with my head in a book. I am pretty crafty and enjoy doing things that are expressive as well. I tend to be a movie buff to. For the most part though, words are my thing. Being a part of Itsy Bitsy really was kismet, even the hubby agrees.

The reason books are so important to me, and have really become something that has carried me through the last few years is the health issues that I have been facing. When all the medicine and doctors can’t fix things and this world feels like it is crashing down, there is nothing like being able to open up a book and escape to a new world for a few hours. This allows me to give something back, just a little bit, for what big gift each author gives me.

I’m a need in just about every way possibly, so if there is a nerdy reference anywhere, I will most likely understand it! I have 1 dog and 2 cats, so yes, I am an animal lover!

I am an avid reader and have been my entire life. As a child, we traveled by car a lot, that meant there was a lot of time to use while in a confined space. That time created many fond memories of learning to needlepoint, draw, and reading a lot of books, among other activities.

I grew up in MN but in early 2017, I moved to the East Coast to work for the national association of my industry. I believe I have the best job because I get to spend every day working with people teaching and influencing their futures. Helping them discover new opportunities and changing the way they think about their industry is extremely rewarding and challenging as a career. I read a wide variety of subjects from romance to leadership to culture influences. Reading, it’s my passion, it’s my release, it’s my way to relax, it’s my self-development.

Hi! I‘m Mary Katherine, or Merricat for short. I’m married to my loving husboy Blake, and we are the proud parents of 3 dogs, Sofia, Rarity & Leia, and 2 cat, Salem, and Rosie the Rivetpurr. I have always loved books since I can remember, from begging my dad to read to me, until finally I could start reading them to him. I think it was in my destiny especially since I was named for the main character from the book "We Have Always Lived In The Castle". It‘s very rare that I’ve ever met a book I didn’t like, and often times you will find me with a book in one hand a cup of tea in another.

I’m Betsy Melano a divorced mom of 2 great kids, Ellie & Ben. I work full time as an accountant for a wholesale food distributor in the Midwest. Reading has been a part of my life since an early age - there’s a funny story about me refusing to take baths as a toddler and how my Dad tricked me into taking one by reading to me. Other than reading I enjoy spending time with my kids, getting out and going for walks, needle crafts, and cooking.

Hello, my name is Angela Shirley and I have just come back to the Itsy Bitsy Book Bits Reviewers family after being away for a year due to personal reasons but before that I was a reviewer for just under two years. I joined as I was getting stuck in rut with the types of books I was reading and wanted a bit more variety so hence I joined this wonderful group and it has opened my eyes to different authors and genres I would never have discovered.

I am single, sassy woman and my day job is an Accountant, but I assure you I’m not a stuffy one at all. I have always been an avid reader ever since I was young enough to visit the library. I started off reading Famous Five and Secret Seven books and have always enjoyed a good thriller but over the years my tastes and genres have drastically changed.

Some of my favorite authors are Dan Brown, Janet Evanovich, Kathy Reichs, Lorelei James etc but more recent new authors who I would never have read if it was not for Itsy bitsy like RG Miller, Phoebe Alexander, Brandy Ayers to name but a few. I enjoy the freedom of reading and the imagination that a good book can evoke can transport you to situations and destinations you never dreamed of.

Hello! I am TaKeisha. I live in Virginia with my husband, my daughter, our 3 dogs, and our 2 cats. Although this life is busy, there is nothing like kicking back in the evening to read. My most liked and read genre is young adult. I often find myself getting lost in these novels and have trouble putting them down. Thankfully, my daughter has embraced a love towards books as well, although her preferred genre is children’s stories and picture books. I am sure that once she learns to read on her own, she will need a new bookshelf. Outside of reading, I love to learn new crafts, try new recipes, and travel.
