Maria’s Book Banter is where I share my honest opinions
about the books I read. I got the idea of doing a book blog while I was reading
The Plot by Jean Hanff Korelitz, which will be the topic of my first
blog post. This book mentions the concept of a book blogger. I thought to
myself “I could do that”. Fast forward one week, and I'm writing the About
page.
My intention for this blog is for it to be interactive. I
encourage readers to leave their thoughts – positive or negative – in the comments
sections. You can also e-mail me your feedback at mariabookbanter@gmail.com. I
will happily accept book recommendations as well.
Which brings me to the question: What kind of books do I
like? Mainly fiction, especially historical fiction. I also enjoy memoirs and
biographies. Mysteries and psychological thrillers are great. So are books on Christian spirituality.
As for science fiction, fantasy, romance novels and self-help books – not
so much. And please, no books with smutty language. Thank you.
Something else you should know about me is that when I say
I “read” a particular book, it actually means I listened to its audio version.
Listening to audiobooks is just easier for me because I have cerebral palsy, a
motor disability which affects my muscle movements and coordination. And yes, I
have read My Left Foot.
I hope you find Maria’s Book Banter a fun and worthwhile
forum to discuss the books we love – or didn’t love so much. Please do not hesitate
in letting me know what you think of it.
