Books...who knew they were so cool?
I heart books. I used to hate reading, and tried to skip reading as much as I could when it was required in school. If only my high school and college teachers could see me now. I've read a little bit here and there, one of the first books I really remember reading just for "fun" was White Oleander by Janet Fitch, and I read it before the movie came out thank you very much. I enjoyed that book and thought to myself, "hey, this reading thing isn't so bad." So, I tried some other books recommended by friends and found those were okay, too. Last year I asked my husband if I could get a Nook for Christmas, and he just couldn't help but asking, "are you really going to use it?" Oh the nerve of the man. Since last Christmas, I have read more books than I ever had in my other 32 years combined. Seriously. I read so much now, sometimes I find it hard to stop reading and do real things...like you know, housewifey stuff, or playing with my son.
Anyway, I will read anything, the first book I read on my Nook was Outlander by Diana Gabaldon, which I absolutely loved. After that, I was hooked on Nook. I'll read romance books, mystery books, faith inspired books, historical fiction books, science fiction books, really anything that I think looks interesting to me. Some books I've read are so good I read them more than once, some books aren't so great but I finish them anyway because I just have to.
So, I thought since I've started this new blog thing, I'd do a book report of sorts of the books I've read and post my reviews here. I'll even do the books that didn't appeal to me, because let's face it; everyone's tastes are unique. And if anyone is interested, they can read my review and decide if a certain book I've read sounds like something interesting to them. I will try to post my first official book report on Friday and hopefully it will be a weekly thing!
