This is the same thing I put in my About Me section. I just figured I’d stick it here too because this is new and I’d be telling you this in an initial post anyway. More to come later.

Hi. I’m Leslie Loges. I’m obsessed with books. My husband bought me a Kindle a few years ago because my books were taking over so much room in our small condo in the suburbs of Washington, D.C. Now I have two Kindles, but also have  a tendency to read on my phone, listen to audiobooks on my phone and still carry around paperbacks. There are still piles of books in my house.

I grew up loving reading. Something instilled in me by my father. I also grew up loving writing, but creative writing isn’t my forte. I began my career as a journalist in high school, and left the field in March 2013 to move into corporate communications — a much more stable field that pays a lot better. Since then I’ve found I have even more time for books. In the last 10 months I’ve read about 100 of them. So I like to write, but I was always terrible in my creative writing classes. I was more drawn to poetry and journalism. Maybe I’ll share some poetry here occasionally. Maybe. And who knows, maybe someday I’ll try creative writing again. I got a C in that class.

I have an obsession with words, so I thought I would share it. I’m not exactly sure what types of things will be included but I’d assume thoughts on books, thoughts on writing, reviews, perhaps information on area book signings and maybe some of my own writing. We’ll see.

Side note: I also have an obsession with hula hoops. To learn more about that, visit www.TillyWhirls.com.
