Welcome to the blog!

Well, as the heading already told you, I'm Mia, and this (gestures with hand, Vanna White style, to blog) is my book blog! I'm what you may call "totally booksessed", or a "bookaholic", maybe even "insane reader with no life", whatever word choice you prefer, but whatever way you put it, I love books, reading, writing, reading about people writing books, books about reading, all of it. So, hence the word "book" in the term "book blog", this blog should end up as the perfect outlet for me to talk about all the bookish things my heart desires. And, the public will also have a chance to hear (er, read about) all of it!

About the public reading all of this, I should add that as a first time blogger and book reviewer, I'm not exactly sure what the rules are on copyrights, and quotes, and if there are limits on what books you can review and such, but I promise to learn them quickly so that I don't like accidentally break the law or anything. Also, I will just apologize now for my awful typing. Sorry for the many typing and spelling mistakes you will no doubt see.

Now that some formalities are out of the way, I suppose I should explain why exactly I called my blog 249 Books And Counting. No, 249 is not the total number of books I have read (that number would be well into at least the 500's, if I knew what it was), nor the number of books I plan to review. 249 is the number of books that I own. or at least the number of books I owned on the first of August, I've gotten a couple since (hence the "And Counting" part of the title). Most of the books I review will be coming out of those 249 books that I own, which I should say now that I read a lot of varied stuff, from young adult fiction, to classic sci-fi, to behavioral economics and trivia books.

So that's about it, watch out for reviews, polls, and sometimes just me talking about stuff in future weeks! As a side note, I am starting school soon, so I may be a little bit too busy to post, but I'll try to post something every two or three days. Sorry this post doesn't contain much about me (I'm not very good at talking about my self) but hey, the best way to get to know someone is through their books!
