All About Me

This fall I'm going to be posting on this blog more regularly and sharing it more widely, so I thought I'd start out my blog reboot by telling you a little about myself.

My name is Rachel Duncan. I come from a big, crazy family; my siblings are my favorite people in the whole world. I'm studying Social Media Marketing at LDS Business College and I'm loving every minute of it. I love Star Wars and Phineas and Ferb and the Killers and so many other books and movies and TV shows and bands. There's just so much good in the world. I'm a proud member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (to learn more, visit mormon.org). You can follow me on twitter (@conniedear7) or Instagram (also @conniedear7) and I'd be especially happy if you followed me on my very favorite social media platform, Pinterest (@conniedear).

I started this blog because ever since I was very little I've loved books. I've been a voracious reader since I was five years old. Books have made me who I am today and there's nothing better than picking up a book and having your mind opened to new ideas. I hope to help you navigate the millions of available books by sharing some of my very favorites.

Here's to new books and new adventures!

Rachel

These versions include the entire original text of the book, including any advertisements or book descriptions, some of which are unintentionally hilarious. Here are three of my favorites: The Bunny Brown Series By Laura Lee Hope "These stories by the author of the 'Bobbsey Twins' Books are eagerly welcomed by the little folks from about five to ten years of age. Their eyes fairly dance with delight at the lively doings of inquisitive little Bunny Brown and his cunning, trustful sister Sue.  Bunny was a lively little boy, very inquisitive. When he did anything, Sue followed his leadership. They had many adventures, some comical in the extreme." (Comical in the extreme- that's...
