Introduction

Hello Readers,
   I'm Bethany.  This is my book blog and here's the story behind it:

My grandmother(whom I called Nyen-Nyeh) called me Bethy my whole life. My grandmother instilled in my dad a love of reading which he passed on to me and my brother. My grandmother's love of reading introduced her to Harry Potter before Harry Potter was cool, which led her to gift it to my dad, who read it to us. My grandmother was a driving force of a woman. She was tenacious and loving and snarky and smart as a whip. She took over her husband's position on the school board after he passed and her service meant so much to the community they named a reading day after her. So, this blog will be knows as BethysBookBlog from here on out in her honor.
