My Book Favorites

When you have 197 books in your NOOK alone, you clearly are someone who reads a lot, or have no life.  Or both.  Well being a student, and having a job I still find time to read and have a life, so I guess I'm doing something right.  I thought I could take this post to just list some of my favorite books that I have read.  Again I am only listing a small amount of the books that I have read.  Mainly the first ones that come to mind.  I am sure many of you will have read these books, and if not, I recommend jumping in your car and chugging over to your local bookstore to purchase them. 
Also I am in no way listing these books in any order at all.
-Harry Potter series- this is a no-brainer, if you dislike this series either you are a muggle or you are a Death Eater.  I attribute my love of books to this series, because after reading the third book almost eleven years ago, my love of reading blossomed.
-Pride & Prejudice- I love all Jane Austen novels, even if they don't have the modern day romance and mushy gushy of today's romance novels.  This book, however, is my absolute favorite of her work.  This novel is the reason I aced my high school English classes; when you write every paper on the same book it becomes pretty easy.  So thank you Austen for unknowingly helping me, and thank you Lizzie and Darcie for showing me how true love is supposed to be.
-Chronicles of Narnia were a series I enjoyed when I was younger.  Great, easy reads with just the right amount of fantasy, drama, action, and romance. 
-Nicholas Sparks books, mainly The Choice and Last Song.  I bawled like a baby after finishing those two.  A brilliant writer who somehow knows exactly how to appeal to his female audience.  Any book that can make me cry instantly moves to the top of my book list. 
-This book is not a big series book but it is one that I cannot get out of my head after almost two months of having finished reading it.  It is called the Perfect Game by J. Sterling.  This book had me a wreck.  Probably because it closely mirrored events in my life at the time I was reading it.  If you are looking for romance, heart-wrenching love, and an emotion that I can't yet name, then you will definitely need to purchase this book.  In fact I may read it again now for the fourth time...

Well my Mac is down to 7 minutes of life, and being the good owner I am I should probably go plug it in.  I also need to get back to my current book, Eternally Yours by Cate Tiernan.  Think sassy, opinionated, immortal 400+ year old teenager.  It is the third book, so naturally I'm hooked.  Chat later!

Okay, so I titled this "Start of Something New" because this blog is just that.  As I was sitting in my lecture class earlier this day I was thinking about what food I wanted for lunch, the project I had yet to finish at work, and why the girl in front of me was wearing a short dress when it was 22 degrees outside.  Naturally through all these thoughts I found myself thinking about my NOOK.  Yes, me and my NOOK are in love and very happy. Thank you. So I thought about how I needed to share what I had read with other fellow book lovers out there.  Ding! A blog is a brilliant idea! So here I am, finally writing my first blog post.  You may be wondering what this blog is about, well if you think its about puppies, you are correct to a point.  It is about books.  Books of all genres.  I will post my reviews of them, I will rate them, I will just generally discuss them.  So if you were hoping this blog was going to tell you how to properly wrap your Christmas presents this holiday, well sorry, my talents involving wrapping presents are just as non-existent as my ability to think before I speak.

A few points for here on out in regards to the world's most amazing and incredible blog of all blogs in current and future existence, or just MY blog for short:
1. Any names of people in my own personal life will have their names changed for my privacy, okay maybe theirs too.  I don't want an angry sister hiding my favorite pair of pumps as a form of payback.
2. I will discuss things in my own opinion.  That is strictly my opinion and not expected to be the opinion of any of my readers.  If you do not agree, and if you do then my blog is a success either way. This blog is purely for my enjoyment and yours as well.
3. I hope you enjoy this blog as much as I do
4. If I need to add other points I will as overlord of this most amazing and incredible blog.
