About Me

Hi! I began this blog in April of 2008 as a way to share my love of books with the world. I am a total book-a-holic!  I do regular reviews and host a lot of giveaways.

Here is a list of some more random facts about me...

1. My name is Tara Dawn. My maiden name was Tara Dawn Jane and people used to consistently ask me what my last name was. It drove me crazy.
2. I am 34 years old.
3. My birthday is Christmas Day, 1975.
4. I have birthed three children.
5. I have had four miscarriages.
6. My daughter Olivia is 3.
7. My son Owen is 7.
8. My son Aiden is 8.
9. Aiden has been diagnosed with high-functioning Autism and ADHD.
10. I believe in God and need His help just to get through my days.
11. I am a pastor's wife... but not your typical pastor's wife (or so I've been told).

20. Our anniversary is July 31, 1999.
21. I think my husband saved my life several times while I was suffering with severe PPD.
