"The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go." - Dr. SuessMy name is Lourdes and I love to read. I've been reading for as long as I can remember, which probably means since I was around three years old. My parents have told me that even when I was a baby I like to pick up a book and "read" them out loud. Getting my book taken away was the worst possible punishment when I was a kid. There were (and still are!) always multiple books on my birthday and Christmas wishlists. For a while books were some of my best friends. I really owe it to my parents for fostering such a deep love for books and reading ever since I was a baby.
When I'm not reading you can probably find me in the lab doing research as I am currently working toward my PhD in Materials Science and Engineering. Who said engineers don't like to read? I also like to write in my spare time, although as school work starts to accumulate it tends to fall to the back burner. Reading never does though. I don't think I could go a day without finding at least ten minutes to curl up with a good book.
About Unbound Books
I decided to start this blog because I realized how much I like to tell people about books I've read. I am always telling my friends and about my latest favorite read and recommending books that I think they will like. Then I thought to myself, why limit this to my close friends and family? Why not let other people discover amazing new books too? One of my goals is to get more people reading and one way to achieve this goal is to tell as many people about all the awesome books out there.I will mainly be reading and review young adult general fiction books. I do have a certain penchant for dystopian, fantasy, and sci-fi books so you may see more of those kinds of books, but I try to keep a variety in my choice of books.
