Back to School Book Blogger Challenge: Day 1

So today is also the start of the Back to School Book Blogger Challenge.  This challenge is hosted by the amazing Parajunkee!

Today's challenge doesn't seem to hard, but it's something that I hated to do when I went to school.  It's a bit easier when I'm on here, because most of you know me and if you don't...Hello! 

Today's Challenge!

It's time to stand up in front of the class and share with the rest of us a bit about you!

Like I said above Hello.  I'm Ali and that is short for Alicia.  I'm a single mother of two who loves to read and teach her kids to love reading as well.  Samantha is almost ten and I can't believe it.  She is also my mini me and I'm serious about that, looks just like me and acts like me as well.  My son, Braxton is my little man at the age of seven. Both of my kids love to read or be read to.

I started blogging in 2011 and yes there have been ups and downs along the way, but I wouldn't trade them for anything.  Ali's Bookshelf is the perfect way to share my love of books with everyone that reads my blog and that is one of my great joys in life, other than my kids that is. I spend my Sunday afternoon's on my blog and a few day's throughout the week.  Trying to get posts scheduled and making sure that Ali's Bookshelf looks the way I want it to.  If there is ever anything you would like to see more of or something new you would like to see, please let me know. 

I'm not just a mother and blogger, I also handle PR and Marketing for authors.  I love that part of my job, getting the word out about authors and their books is so much fun.  My desk is always full of books and candy.  Yep Candy is my reading snack and my work snack, well that and chips.

So now you know a bit more about me.  If you want to know more, feel free to ask questions below.  But make sure you raise your hand!
