These are a few of my favorite things

Edited to add: Most of my websites are not working. They were slightly broken when I first made them - so I tried to fix them and now they are just not right. I'll get better! I promise. You can get to the links by removing the "blogger.com" at the beginning of each website that I've linked. I've tried multiple times to remove it, but to no avail.

On with the show!

Is there a better way to introduce myself than to show you some of my online haunts? Nah! Let's go. Since my life and my job are all about books and board games, I will show you those sites first.

I like book reviews. One of my favorite sites is GoodReads. I'm not sure how to link that to my personal account, but once I do -- I'll let you know. I like writing my own book reviews and reading other people's. I tried a lot of different review sites, and settled on this one. I also liked LibraryThing but I had a really hard time keeping up with both of the sites. Between those two, I had the hardest choice to make. Goodreads finally got me because they were free and Librarything wanted money. I hope to post my reviews here once I figure it out.

One of my favorite book blogs is Bookshelves of Doom. I like that she's brutally honest and scathingly funny at times. She is more like a friend telling you about what she just read rather than a professional book reviewer.

As for boardgames, Board Game Geek is my favorite. It's a great database of just about every game ever made. I played a few tester games at Gen Con that probably only a few copies of the games exist, and even those games were there. I love reading the reviews on the site and sometimes you can download pdf copies of instructions or even game tiles that you lost.
