Welcome! I'm Claire and I have been reading and listening to stories since a ridiculously early age. When I am not reading or reviewing books, I am cooking food that is healthy, fresh and (sometimes) book-inspired. I live outside of Dallas, Texas with my husband, two kids and my one small (but constant) reading and cooking companion: a little mini dachshund named Newt.
