New year, same old me
I don't honestly make resolutions. I have enough to feel bad about in life, why should I make up changes I am never going to fulfill?
This year? This year is different. I made two resolutions.
- Find out what Cardi B's real name is
- Read more.
Growing up, I was never without a book. Typically I would have 4 or 5 around the house. I am one of those unique people that can pick the story up, no matter how many books I am reading, and remember what is going on.
Lately with smart phones and my attention span not being what it is, I haven't been reading. At all. I will read books to my daughter, but it isn't the same thing. I also want her to grow up realizing that television is not the end all be all and you can get lost in a book.
So I have made it my mission to read more. I didn't put a specific number up, because honestly I do not know what is feasible. I've read one book this month, and I am about 90% finished with another. I hope to detail them in the blog and talk about what I like and what I do not.
This is where you come in (and hopefully you want to come in). I need book recommendations. I am pretty much open to anything. I've been checking out e-books from my local library. These are what I have read or have on hold so far:
- I'm Judging You by Luvvie Ajayi
- Hamilton by Ron Chernow
- In the Company of Women by Grace Bonney (thanks Nerdette!)
- Half of a Yellow Sun by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
- Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
- The Girl with All the Gifts by M.R Carey
- Books 1 and 2 of the Archived Series by Victoria Schwab
Not a bad starter list eh? I hope you will help me as I try to get back in the swing of loving to read and actually doing it, instead of using Facebook all day. In the comments, please list some books you enjoyed reading, or are looking forward to reading this year.
Cardi B's real name is Belcalis Almanzar.
