March 10, 2013: Picture me sitting just a few days before New Years racking my brain trying to think of something that wasn't completely dorky for a New Years resolution. I generally hate making resolutions, I always end up forgetting about it. This year, 2013, was going to be different!
So then something possessed me to undertake the challenge of reading 100 books in only 1 year! Not sure what I was thinking but January 1st came and went and I started my challenge. It has had quite the rocky start but we are on are way! It isn't quite half way through March and I am only on book 3... now I know what you are thinking, 'There is no way she is going to finish.' or 'Reading this stupid blog is just stupid...why did I even click on this?'
BUT!! Before you do close me out please first hear me out! I will finish and I will read these 100 books and as I read them I would love nothing more then to hear your thoughts, opinions, and anything else you feel like saying to me. I will not just be posting when I finish the book but also while I am reading it, so that way you can experience it with me every step of the way. :)
I would love nothing more then to have you along with my on this journey and I hope you will come along! Please feel free to speak your mind if you have an opinion on a book I am reading I would love nothing more!! Also if you have a favorite book that you think is just a "MUST READ" then feel free to tell me about that as well! I am open to reading anything and everything!
The first 2 books I have read are:
#1) Title: "Inheritance"
By: Christopher Paolini
Page Count: 849
Thoughts: (First let me start by saying that these two first book descriptions are going to be really short and kinda basic I promise to get more elaborate from now on.)Anyway, if you are someone who enjoys the whole dragons/magical world kinda books then this book, which is the 4th and last in a series, is defiantly for you. Paolini does the most amazing job with his books and making his magical world of Alagesia come to life and jump from the page.
#2) Title: "The Two Towers"
By: J. R. R. Tolkien
Page Count: 352
Thoughts: Wow. What can you say about a book by Tolkien? Everyone of them that I have read has been amazing! At least everyone has heard of the hobbit Frodo and how he goes on his quest to destroy the 'one ring'. The book is the second installment of Tolkien's 'Lord Of The Rings' series. A classic and yet another amazing read.
This is all for now, next book I am going to conquer will be 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower' - Stephen Chbosky. I only started it yesterday and don't have many thoughts on it yet. I'm sure that will all change in a matter of days though.
Can't wait to hear your thoughts and book suggestions over the next year!
Until next time fellow readers,
Michaela Jane
