Hello!   Welcome to “That’s What She Said.”  In case you’re wondering about the title, this is not a blog full of crude jokes but instead a play on my name.  So what is this blog about? 

I had this brilliant idea while sitting at a gate in the San Jose Airport in Costa Rica.  I recently graduated from business school and now have the gift of time…so much time.  After filling those hours in the first couple weeks trying all the new restaurants I had missed out on, shopping online for things I have no need for, and taking a trip to an exotic location just because I could, I decided I needed a hobby that wouldn’t cost me anything.  So I sat at the airport with my luggage by my side and my Kindle in my lap wondering what I was going to do with the rest of my life, and there it was in front of me. 

I spent my vacation relaxing the way I knew best – by reading.  I read 3 books on my week long trip and was longing for someone talk to about them.  So I decided to do a blog of book reviews!

I love books.  I swallow them whole.  I get lost in novels and stories to the point where I often forget where I am or what I’m supposed to be doing instead of reading.  I read in order to unwind, I read to treat myself, and I read to maintain my sanity (or lack thereof).  I’m already a member of a fantastic book club, which I’m sure I’ll reference quite often in this blog, but I want to go beyond that.  I know there have to be people like me who spend hours on Amazon reading reviews and figuring out which book is going to change my life next.  So this blog is an experiment to reach out to those who read, like to talk about reading, or who care about what I think. 

Get excited!!!
