Welcome to Trent's Book Club

Hello everyone. Welcome to Trent’s Book Club! I have long-held passions for literature, reading, and writing. So, I thought what better way to combine all of these three great loves of mine than to write about literature I have read. Initially, I was just going to write about my favourite books here on Stay Blogitive, but after a lot of thought, I decided to start a new, separate blog specifically for book reviews. Yes, that’s right, I have decided to start a book review blog! www.trentsbookclub.blogspot.com As the name Trent’s Book Club suggests, I hope for this to become more than just a review blog. I want you guys to get involved and give your views on these books/authors as well. I want TBC to be a place where you can read, review, and recommend literature to me/each other and find a whole host of new titles to explore along the way.   I hope you all find some new and exciting literature to explore along this journey and I can’t wait to get this thing start
