How to read at least one book a month
It made me
super happy.
 "consicously creating time just for me, and my latest story, was a great way to learn to chill out and relax."
How I did it: I've always loved to read, but with uni and work, i just had no time. This goal helped me get back to the state of enjoying fiction and time to myself. I learnt to read out of my usual genres by starting a book club with my friends, and trained myself to always keep something to read with me. I would often read more then one book at a time, to keep life varied. If i got tired of reading I would pop my head back into something light, abit trashy, or an old favourite. Harry potter books were my saviours! Lessons & tips: - started a book club with all my friends

It made me
Calm
How I did it: After months of just saying that I wanted to start reading for pleasure, I finally just started reading. I started reading the Twilight Series and now I can't put the books down! I can't wait for the movie to come out! Since reading the series, I have been able to take a little time out of everyday to read a little. Read how I did it…

June's Book

A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by Dave Eggers. I’d been meaning to read it for a while and it turned out to be well worth the wait.

What a great book! I really couldn’t put it down and loved reading it.
You were right about that, Steph!

I knew beforehand that it wouldn’t be a light a fun read. But once I started reading it, I really started to enjoy it. Not that reading of a life in wartime was so enjoyable. But the way it was written was and the little details that made life bearable. I couldn’t put the book away in the end.
A great read!
May's book

Running with Scissors. Good book. Reminded me of David Sedaris. Now to rent the movie.

My mother chose this book for me, I wouldn’t have chosen it myself, but I’m glad she took it. It was quite o.k., catching and interesting. The book tells the story about three generations of women on a german island during the two World Wars until today. A nice history lesson about an unpleasant subject.
April's Book!

Finally finished my April book: Defining the Wind by Scott Huler. Not as good as his other book that I read, but still enjoyable and I learned a lot.
I'm already behind on this one...
