Introduction

Hi!
  My name is Katie K and this is my first blog.  It was suggested to me, this Christmas dinner, that I start a blog about my kids book recommendations as well as candy!  Some background on me, I have run a total of three teen departments and three kids departments at both Borders & Barnes & Noble.  (I want to mention that one department was co-run with another awesome Katie!)  I have a great love of children's books from board books on up to chapter books.  I love reading them and I love talking about them!
  In this day and age when everything is happening more and more online, it was pointed out to me that it's harder for people to know what books to buy their children or the children of their friends or family.  I want to start this blog as a way for people to get ideas and the truth about the books your kids may want to read.  There are some people out there who want to just make the sale and it's not important to them what they put in your kid's hands.  I'm not that kind of person and I wasn't when I worked at the book stores.  You'll get my honest opinion and a good review.  I hope to grow this to the point where I can actually even further grow my knowledge of children's books.
  Currently, I work in a giant candy store and I love it!  I will also post about my favorite candies and some of the rarer ones out there.  Yes, I am shamelessly self-promoting where I work, but it should be fun as well!
  Feel free to respond and contact me with any questions!  Most of all, enjoy this blog.  Please remember, I am not a professional critic.  I am simply a lover of children's books who wants to share her knowledge to help others.  Thanks!
