Amy Taylor has been working harder to work towards her goals.
Since ‘The Hobbit’ has taken me so long to read i believe it wouldn’t be fair to use it towards Novembers book.
So heres to December! Lets just hope i can finish ‘The Hobbit’ before then!

How to read one book a month
It made me
happy
 "worth it "
How I did it: i read a book a week now! and i love it. My friends have become huge book readers too and now we swap books all the time. Read twilight, the time travellers wife, freakonomics and currently reading scar tissue all in one month. Its such a better time waster (not that its a waste but u get the idea) then just lazing around watching tv. Iv become addicted to reading =)

It made me
How I did it: I got a library card! Not only was I surprised at the selection, the library seems to have made some great technological advances since the last time I stepped foot in one... like online accounts and self-checkout. Having to either renew or return books every three weeks or so is a good force-reminder to read them. Over the past four months I've read two Haruki Murakami books, Graham Greene's The Quiet American, and book of mountaineering… Read how I did it…

Happy
How I did it: Except from when I was sick I have been reading several books a month for a while now. It's been easy because I'm an indoor person and I love to read:) Also, when you borrow a book from the library, I think it's a bit reckless coming back with it after a month having not read it; you keep others from reading it, and you wear it out.

I just finished a book tonight which I believe is now my favorite book. Period.
It is called Holding Still For As Long As Possible by Zoe Whittall. It was amazing. It included a lot about paramedics and also really went into the gay community which I liked a lot as I am still experimenting in this department and feel such a connection to that world that the author presents. Toronto setting, the community all these relationships interconnected.

Finished: The Picture of Dorian Gray, Oscar Wilde
[Enthralling story with a predictable but horrific ending. I was surprised that it was, in the end, a morality tale – I always thought of Wilde as an amoral hedonist. Some chapters are 90% dialogue – you can tell the novel was written by a playwright. Nearly every character is a mouthpiece for Wilde’s cheeky epigrams.]
