So I recently started a "100 Books to Read This Year" Challenge... I love reading and learning stuff from them so I figured, instead of wasting my life away watching 'Kim and Kourtney take New York' even though I LOVE the Kardashians, why not pick up a book to read... that's how it started.
I love that I can learn a lot from books, whether its just a word I'd never seen before or an illness or something about slavery, it makes me more interested and makes me want to get another book to read! Reading and Learning is great.
Thanks to my good friend who owns the company 'The Bargain Wordsmith' I get to borrow tons of books for low prices and I even get bestsellers... This is where half my salary goes! http://thebargainwordsmith.wordpress.com/
I'm currently on book #17. Some of the books I've read are; The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (Steig Larsson), One Hundred Years of Solitude (Gabriel Garcia Marquez), Room (Emma Donoghue), and one of my personal favorites till date; Handle with Care (Jodi Picoult).
I'll try to blog about some of the really good ones I've read and some of the ones I'm hoping to read!
