The Beginning

June 12, 2013

Memory fails. That is an inevitable truth. One way to combat this failure is to write things while they are still fresh. In this case, these things I speak of are my thoughts and opinions on books I’ve read.

Once in a while I come across a book and vaguely remember having read it years ago. Beyond that though, I can’t say much more. At other times I wonder what the title of this great book was but I come up short. Goodreads has thus served me well though all those shelves with books I also intend to read has become a bit unwieldily for my review purposes. With that, I have decided to start a book blog to chronicle my reading life.

I’m the kind of person who wishes she had more time to read. I would willingly trade sleep for more reading time. In fact, I sometimes wish that instead of spending 8 hours asleep every night, reading could be used instead to recharge. As it is, I am currently an undergraduate who has stacks of academic papers to read and write, and I also am athlete competing in a local league with her club. Besides that, I have many other interests in the likes of baking, sewing and photography.

Either way, I spend my commutes and a lot of my free time in between activities reading YA fiction. When I’m in the mood to expand my horizons a little more, I have a go non-fiction books. Once in a while I turn to adult fiction but find myself returning to YA because at the end of the day, unlike those characters, I don’t have a marriage to worry about. My only truly adult concern right now probably is finding a job upon graduation.

So, this marks the beginning of my book blogging journey.
