I had a goal to read 100 books this year because I know it's do able for me but instead I have been suckered into the internets more and more and read blog reviews and add more books to read! I have read 28 or 30 or 29 books so far this year. Currently working on I See You Everywhere by Julia GlasS and Revolutionary Road. I want to read The Reader and I have a copy of Water for Elephants. My goal is to read a Jane Austen novel this year too.. I was well on my way into Pride and Prejudice and left it in Ohio for awhile, so now I will have to restart. I suggest that one.. :)
i just recently discovered your blog but i was reading your old posts back in july... OMG I thought I was the only one who didn't like twilight. you wrote all the "cons" of that book perfectly and I agree 100% (I also hate it when people compare twilight and harry potter... that really upsets me). romantic that i am, i also enjoyed reading about you and your husband's history. you're both TOO cute... the stuff of romance novels :)
i suggest you read jane austen's emma (b/c pride and prejudice is too overdone nowadays) :)
Um, Michelle. I think you just became my new bff :)
