Hi! I’m Cori — thanks for stopping by!
About me: I’m an editor and I love it. I live in (generally) sunny California. I love God’s creation, reading, being a ninja, road cycling, thinking, sewing, crafting, my hot glue gun, walking, admiring Craftsman architecture, blogging, dodging killer bees, playing Boggle, being artsy, loving everything British except for Marmite, making art using typography, hiking, training for a 5k, being sarcastic, playing tennis, wondering about Big Questions, collecting ampersands, sitting in the sun, traveling, wishing I was in Scotland, cleaning my house, organizing my books, eating my vegetables, watching Arrested Development, and making lists!
Why I blog: I began “Let’s Eat Grandpa” in 2009, when I created a reading challenge that supported Blood:Water Mission, an incredible organization that helps bring clean water and blood transfusions to people in Africa. My friends, family, and blog readers pledged money for each book I read in 2009. After reading 75 books, I was able to send in over $5,000 to B:WM. I was overwhelmed by the support of everyone involved. In 2010, I converted my blog into a regular book blog, in hopes of connecting with other book fans, and so that my poor friends and family wouldn’t have to pretend they were interested when I rambled on for days about the books I’m reading. Recently I started blogging other personal aspects of my life as well, such as my adventures in road cycling and karate, as well as the things I’m sewing, crafting, and cooking.
