Introduction :)

    July the 6th 2011 was when my older sister had left for Africa to go volunteer with a non profit organization. She will be gone for a total of 2 whole years! She is what you call a book fanatic! She loves to read and has tons of books! She unfortunately was unable to take her large collection of books with her so I am currently the librarian. I watch over all of her many books, and make sure if people read a book they MUST return it and in good shape ;) It's actually quite fun being the librarian because I myself do love books as well. One day I was quite bored so I decided to go through her book collection and gather some that I'd enjoy reading over the next 2 years! I picked a small selection at first of what books really interested me so they were put at the top of my list! The list includes:

1. The Communists Daughter- Dennis Bock
2. The Great Depression- Pierre Berton
3. P.S I love you- Cecellia Attern
4. Time Travellers Wife- Audrey Niffenegger
5. Broken- Daniel Clay
6- Haunted Palahniuk
7. Catcher in the Rye- JD Salinger
8. The Plot Against America- Philip Roth
9. Goldie Hawn's Biography
10. Chasing Harry Winston- Lauren Weisberger
11. The Devil Wears Prada- Lauren Weisberger
12. Eat, Pray, Love- Elizabeth Gilbert
13. Almost Moon- Alice Sebold
14. Lucky- Alice Sebold
15. White Rose- Scholl
16. We need to talk about Kevin- Lionel Shriver
17. icy sparks- Gwyn Hyman
18. One flew over the cuckoo's nest- Ken Kessey
19. Knowledge Book- National Geographics
20. Book of Negroes- Lawrence Hill
21. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society- Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows
22. Angela's Ashes- Frank McCourt
23. 'Tis (^sequel)- Frank McCourt

     I'm not going to read this list in order I am just going to read them in whatever order I please. I had just started my first book today while riding on the bus to school in the morning. I decided to start with The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. I chose this... well because my sister had recommended it to me and personally I think it sounds like a fantastic book and currently it's quite enjoyable!

    I will be writing a blog per book just basically talking about the book, don't worry I will try not to give anything away for those who'd enjoy reading any of these books. I will rate on my personal scale of how I liked it and just basically talk about it. This blog is just for fun! And if I don't update super often it's because I'm a slow reader haha and I'm not sure how fast I can get through all these books but I'll try my best! :) I'll try to update saying where I am currently in the book and how I'm enjoying it, but by the end of the book when I finish I'll have an official post about the book! :)
   
     So now my adventure has begun, I'm not sure when it will end exactly but the only thing that matters is as long as I have fun along the way! :)
