Bookworm

You guyssssssssss!!! I have been slacking so badly when it comes to reading! I set a goal for myself on my goodreads account which is to read 30 books in 2014. So far it's almost the middle of February and I am about 50 pages from finishing the 11th book in the House of Night Series - Revealed.

 

I think my problem is that I love going to the bookstores, biiiiiig bookstores like Barnes and Noble; but my favorite was Borders. I just love going in a bookstore and looking at anything and everything! I love spending, literally, hours searching for books and then stopping at the coffee shop and reading. Unfortunately the only book place near me is Book World, which is fine! However the YA section is about like 2 small shelves worth. Not to mention when I go in there, because it is so limited, I'm like "Read that. Read that. That one too. And that one. Read. Read."

UG!

 

So I found this website called Book Depository and they have free shipping on all the books, so naturally I'm stocking up. I don't know why exactly I haven't liked Harry Potter, my 3rd grade teacher read us the first book and then I tried to read the second one on my own but the words were not even legitimate words so I gave up. I hate having words that I don't know how to pronounce, I spend about 2 minutes every time I come across a word I don't know how to say. So can you imagine that with a book like Harry Potter I spent about 12 minutes trying to pronounce words before I even get through a paragraph!? It was frustrating to say the least.

 

Now that I am 24 years old.... I'm going to give it a whirl. My friend, Kelsey, will be so proud of me!

 

Anyway! I am trying to get back in the habit of reading. I'll hold myself accountable for reaching my goal and I will keep you guys posted too! Perhaps I will even have a few reviews and recommendations for you guys too!

 

What are your favorite books!?
