Could you recommend maybe four good reads… and I’ll try to tackle them before Christmas? That would be awesome!

Let me know if you would like any recommendations for good adult fiction. It is scary and a lot more hit and miss than YA is (YA fiction is just so..yummy and fun). There’s some really interesting and fun adult books out there too though and so worth the dive.

Three years ago, I made a goal to read 10 books a month, and ended up reading closer to 20 books a month. I just couldn’t stop! Lately, I find myself relaxing more on the computer than with a good book. Bad me. I think I’ll set a goal again next year and plow through some good books. I need to step outside of my YA and classics comfort zones and enter into the world of modern adult fiction. It’s a scary ocean and I’d rather just stay in my little pond!

If I do keep my goal, I’d like to blog through my books. You’ve inspired me with all of your great reviews. I like how you quickly get to the main point of the book, and describe what the author did or did not do well. It gives me a taste of whether or not I would like the book without giving away too much. You should write book reviews for magazines! Have you ever considered sending in a reader list for Bookmarks (the magazine)? I think you would make some great recommendations – my favorites are the lists centered around an uncommon theme. Be creative! Here’s the info:
