About Me and BookCloseouts

Ok, so I'm going to try my hand at blogging.  I guess it's kind of like writing a diary (which I definately wrote a lot of back in the day).  I thought I'd start off telling you a bit about myself. I'm a single mom of two most amazing children.  They are my world.  Being a mom is the most amazing job in the world - hardest job for sure, but definately the most rewarding by far.

I am definately an avid book reader.  Working  in the book field for the last 15 years I have quite a substantial book collection.  I like pretty much all genres but probably my most favourite is mystery/thriller/horror.  I also love paranormal/sci-fi/fantasy.  On average I read about 2 books a week.

I work full time at BookCloseouts.com.   The best job in the world.  BookCloseouts.com is one of North America's largest online retail sellers of Bargain Books.   I have been with the company since 1997.  Starting off as a cashier in our retail store.  I have since had the amazing opportunity to move my way around including the following positions:  receptionist, customer service rep, customer service director, accounting dept, and my latest role as social media manager.  This past year 2011-2012,  I brought our social presence to facebook, twitter, google+, goodreads and other social media venues.   I love everything about my job - the books, the challenge, the social aspect, the books oh um I said that already =)

So that's me in a nutshell.   Through this blog I'm going to keep you updated on new arrivals, promotions, contests, events and anything else that may be exciting.  Please leave any comments/suggestions about what you'd like to see, if I'm doing a good job/bad job (just be gentle), or just to say hi!
