Hi! My name is Julie and I live in North Carolina with my husband and our two children ~ a 14 year old boy, Carter, who is in 9th grade, and an 11 year old girl, who I will refer to as M until she's old enough to give me permission to use her name around here. She is in 6th grade this year. I work full time for a large technology company as a product owner on a scrum team, but my background is in marketing and writing. I love to read in my spare time.
I've been blogging here at My Book Retreat since October of 2008, sharing my thoughts about the books I read, the books my kids read and reading in general. I balance my reading between books I am personally interested in, books I'm reading for my monthly neighborhood book club, books my kids are reading, and books I'm given for free to review. So far, it's been a nice balance and I intend to keep it that way.
I hope you enjoy visiting me here at My Book Retreat! Take a look through the hundreds of reviews I've written here over the past few years. If you have any questions, check out my review policy and disclosure statement.
You can also connect with me in a variety of ways:
