read 2 books a month

Just finished Eat, Pray, Love. I’ve been secretly wanting to read this book for forever… but it was always checked out at the library! Finally! Some good stuff, some blah stuff… I don’t feel compelled to own it but I am glad I read it.

This evening I started and finished The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls. Read it!

Finished revisiting Little Women on April 2nd. I read most of it in March though. I’m counting April as 0/2 right now.

February was an EPIC FAIL. I read one book, it was assigned. So far March is 0/2, six days left! I’ve been secretly craving to reread Little Women. It was my absolute favorite book in grade school- I just want to see if it still resonates with me.

Finished The Kite Runner. Good, depressing.

Finished Revolutionary Road last week, yay! I haven’t seen the film and frankly wasn’t really interested in reading it but I received it from my dad over the holidays so I felt obligated. I actually ended up enjoying it and now I’ve passed it along to my mom. Not feeling compelled whatsoever to see the movie though, I just don’t want to ruin this fresh experience!

Next up is The Kite Runner, just barely getting into that one. Considerably longer but I figure I might as well knock it out while I’m home recovering from my wisdom teeth removal. Also gifted to me by my dad awhile back so it’s about time I get to it.

I used to read sooo much before I got to college it was really depressing when I realized that I couldn’t remember the last novel I had read that wasn’t required reading. Went through my old belongings- so many books that I bought/received over the past three years that I haven’t even opened, so many sad, unloved books! I’m promising myself that I won’t purchase anymore (really can’t afford it anyway!) until I’ve read everything that I already have and I’ve hit up the SB library.
