Do you all remember my New Years Resolutions? No? Come on now guys. I set myself five little goals for 2011. Some of them I am doing better on that others, but one I am really rather proud of is my goal read 24 books by the end of the year. So far I have read ten, which is right on track for my two book a month goal. Pretty good, right? Okay, ten books isn't really that many, but it's on track with my GOAL, and my GOAL is what matters to me. See how I didn't set the bar too high just to be disappointed? I am a girl who knows how to make a resolution!
Anyway, in order to help myself reach my goal, and as a way to find new an interesting books that I otherwise would never have known about, I have joined the Blogher Book Club! I have always wanted to be apart of a book club, so when I got the email asking if I wanted to participate it felt like it was perfect. Especially since they send me the book, that way I don't have to hunt it down myself. My first book to read and review was 'A Discovery of Witches' By Deborah Harkness. I wasn't sure how I felt about jumping into another witch and vampire story, but I so enjoyed it! You can click over here and read my full review of the book. You may not be surprised to hear I did manage to mention both Twilight and Harry Potter in this review. I am a girl who knows what she likes. And likes to talk about it.
From now on I will most likely just stick this little badge on the end of a normal post to let you know I have a new review up, but for for this first one I wanted to let you know what it means. I joined a book club. I am writing reviews of books. It feels different that blogging about my random life, but I am enjoying it! So click on over and read about 'A Discovery of Witches'!
*A little bit of full disclosure, I am being paid for these book reviews. Just a heads up on that fact. But I of course will still be voicing my own opinion on the books, be it positive or negative. I am not one to suggest you read a book if I didn't enjoy it. So don't worry your pretty little selves that I would be bought out by the man. Just forget I even mentioned it. *These are not the droids you are looking for*
*Doesn't that disclosure sound super professional. Maybe like a lawyer wrote it? That's what I thought. Man, I am good with words. I can't believe it has taken people this long to start paying me for them.
So glad you are doing book reviews! And isn't it NICE to actually get paid for your writing? There is so much I like about this post, but my favorite is the droids quote. We use that all the freakin' time. Used it just the other night when watching a tv show. We are so much alike.
