Welcome!

Welcome to The Book Nuk! So who am I and what qualifies me to write this blog? I love books. I have always loved books. My idea of the perfect winter weekend (and perhaps summer weekend too; it doesn't even have to be raining) is to spend hours curled up with a good book in hand. Sometimes I dream of being a college professor solely so that I can have an office full of books. As a little girl I secretly read by flashlight beneath my covers long after I was supposed to be sleeping. And frankly, today I still do the same: I read by tiny book light while my infant son dozes nearby in his bassinet. 

I was an English major and spent eight years as book editor in a publishing house. (Full disclosure: Although I have edited children's books, I am not a children's book editor per se.) But most importantly, I am a mom. Since my first son came into my life two and a half years ago, I haven't had as much time as I might like to read big people books -- but I read a lot of little people books. So after careful consideration I decided to start a little people book review: a blog for people who use nuks -- or, more specifically, for the people who read to them. After all, books can be just as soothing to little souls as pacifiers. I hope you enjoy it! I look forward to hearing your feedback and possibly your suggestions too.
