Looking for a good book to read but sick of stuffy, too serious reviews from a newspaper or some major publication that feel more like textbook reading with no personality? The Perpetual Page-Turner book blog just might be for you!
Simply put, The Perpetual Page-Turner is a book blog that has no boundaries. I read and review young adult literature of all genres, adult fiction (of most genres) and non-fiction –mostly travelogues and memoirs). This book blog isn’t a serious, literary criticism type of joint. Think of it as sitting down with a friend after reading a good book and just talking back and forth about a book. It’s conversational, there might be swooning, there might be CAPS LOCK, !!!!! & keysmashing or I might pour my heart out to you. You will also find fun bookish posts, discussions about all things bookish and a smattering of personal posts and whatever my little heart desires.
THIS GIRL! I’m Jamie. I’m 26 and I’m on this never ending quest for good books, good music, good conversation, epic adventures, the perfect outfit… and I pretty much can’t sit still.
1. I’m getting married on August 17, 2012 to the love of my life and best friend. We are opposites in almost every way and it just works.
2. If I could just travel and read for a living I would be THE happiest person in the entire world. I have this insatiable desire to be everywhere I’m not. I try to combat this with books but, in the end, there is no substitute for a real adventure somewhere else in the world…putting your feet down somewhere you’ve never been and just experiencing culture and something new. Say it with me, WANDERLUST.
3. I’m the Queen of Car Dancing & Madame of the Mixtape. Music is life and I enjoy it in all the ways I possibly can — car dancing, lying in the grass with my headphones or standing in a crowd of sweaty people all experiencing the same show.
5. I am the ultimate procrastinator and a hopeless insomniac. Also, I suffer from Extreme Snooze Button Pushing.
Some of my favorite books:
YA Fiction- Anna and the French Kiss, Lola and the Boy Next Door, The Book Thief, If I Stay, Where She Went, The Perks of Being A Wallflower, Wither, and Please Ignore Vera Dietz.
Adult Fiction — Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, On the Road, The Bell Jar, Franny and Zooey, Love in the Time of Cholera, Pride and Prejudice, The Bird Sisters and Never Let Me Go.
If this is your first time on this blog, you can check out my book reviews to see what I’ve been reading or get in on some bookish discussions. You can also subscribe to my RSS feed to keep yourself in the loop!
I love your taste in books! I just started doing book reviews on my blog, and one of my first reviews was Anna and the French Kiss! Also, my name is Jaime and I too have an insatiable desire to be everywhere I am not. I think we might secretly be the same person.
Hi Jamie! Do you still get credit if I buy something from amazon? I got a gift card and would love to give you credit if possible. I don’t see it w your new layout! Thanks!
I do! You can click on book title links and they will take you there! Thanks
How are you??
Hello Jamie,
Awesome name. Truly. I’m not making this up.
Had to stop by and check out your blog after logging into Twitter and it says ‘Who To Follow’ and there’s my name–sort of–but I’m a girl…and I’m CUTE, too!!
Congrats on the marriage!!
I am also married to my best friend of 25 years now (? wow–where did the time go???), and we are also opposites in most things–not all. But, hey, it also works for us. We have 11 kids and starting to get grand-babies too (SO much fun!!).
Your blog is, may I say, a refreshing change–not just from professional reviews, but even from many book bloggers I’ve seen. I’m going to place my money on it being your personality…and maybe a smidgen on the name (smirk). Keep up the fantastic work and wish you the very best on your enduring romance!
-Jaime B.
