It’s that time of the year where we find ourselves making new goals for the new year, well I finally finished my 2014 goals list and it only took me 15 days into the month to do it! Meh! So one of my goals this year is to read 24 books, that’s 2 books a month for you fancy math scholars!
My crazy reader friend Kristen read 100 books in 2013, yes 100 books!!! She inspired me to read more so I added it to my goal list. I also made the commitment with Half Price Books. If you make a reading commitment online at www.halfpricebooks.com by January 31, you will enter into a drawing for a chance to win a $100 gift card at HPB. If friends are excluded from the drawing, I never met Kristen!! ;-)
My first book of the year was Divergent and OMG, it’s SO good!! I am not a speed reader so it took me a week to read it. I could not put it down! I had to know what was going to happen next.
Divergent is the first book of a three book series. It is similar to the Hunger Games as it is set in a Utopian Society with a strong female lead who has to make a difficult choice regarding her future. I actually like this book more than the Hunger Games.
I finished the book on Monday and I felt like this……
I went to Half Price Books on Tuesday only to find out they were sold out……I may or may not have shed a tear. Seriously though, I asked the staff if they were sold out and they said, “Yes” and in my most pathetic sad voice I responded with a “but whhhhyyy?” I just couldn’t wait for the next shipment so I broke my rule and went to the big overpriced store and paid full price and let me tell you, so far it’s worth the $17.99!
The second book is called, Insurgent and I am already staying up late reading my little heart out....yawwwwwnn!
I have a growing list of recommend books and there are several that really look good. I don’t know about you, but I love reading a good book pool side…come on Summer time!
A well-read woman is a dangerous creature!
What are you reading?
