Discussion: How I Read


Reading is such a personal experience, in my opinion. The process is unique for everyone. I always find it super interesting to see the process other readers do in order to actually sit down (or lay down) and read a book. So I thought it'd be fun to let you in on how I read, from how I decide what to read to what I do while reading, when I read, and everything in between.

My Reading Goals (Not Necessarily for the New Year)


This isn't my first post of the year but I'll use this as the opportunity to say Happy New Years! I already know starting out that this is not going to be a great reading year for me as the limited time I have to read is going to be even more restricted. I'm going to have to take courses in the summer semester that will take up most of my time so I was so disappointed that I won't really be able to post my reading goals for the year or a 'the books I've read in 2020' thread on Twitter. But, the more I thought about it, I realized that the goals I have, reading wise, are not just limited for 2020. They're goals I can work on constantly and so I want to share my reading goals that I plan to start and reach, eventually - even if it isn't for this new year.

Review: Blue Lily, Lily Blue (The Raven Cycle #3) by Maggie Stiefvater

Blue Sargent has found things. For the first time in her life, she has friends she can trust, a group to which she can belong. The Raven Boys have taken her in as one of their own. Their problems have become hers, and her problems have become theirs.

The trick with found things, though, is how easily they can be lost.

Friends can betray.
Mothers can disappear.
Visions can mislead.
Certainties can unravel.
