my goal was to read 25 books. mission accomplished! and then some.
now just by looking at my list, i read a lot of YA and crap. but it's crap that i enjoy, so get over it (i'm looking at you josh)! i do try to sneak in an "adult" book every once in a while--and when i say "adult," i mean books that have complex plots written by authors who didn't start out in fan-fiction and who can put together a sentence and paragraph like they are writing a poem, ahhh literature. but who am i kidding? "adult" books can be so boring and wordy.
i shouldn't be mean. YA is what got me reading again in the first place. when i was younger (a young adult if you will), i read. a lot. but then college happened and reading as a hobby was placed on the back burner. then the rest of my 20s happened. i should say that i got married and started having children, but alas, it was just my drunk 20s that passed me by. i would pick up a book here or there, but nothing would really hold my interest, so i just stopped reading.
but i love books and bookstores (oh how i love book shopping), so i would buy and buy and buy (i mean look at all my books, it's a bitch to move them all). and slowly, i was drawn to the YA section (all the pretty girls and beautiful boys on the glossy covers). and then i bought a YA book (gasp!). i feel like i am chronicling my descent into hardcore drug use. it's just books, y'all.

i have some thoughts on some of these books, and i would like to write about them but not all of them. some were just okay; others i LOVED. some had characters that i fell so deeply in love with i can't believe myself. what am i, a thirteen-year-old girl? sometimes i think i might be.
so stay tuned. and i might just write about the characters that i fell in love with. that might be fun or really really creepy. xoxo.
