Prep time :)


Prep Time                                                                                                                                  12-12-14

So I guess I'm starting a blog....

This is purely for entertainment purposes and if you don't agree, that's fine. I am getting the 100 books from Amazon.com's Best Books of 2014. I plan to read through the entire list by the time next years' list is published. I have no experience writing a blog and my general writing experience extends to a couple of community college courses (which I passed by the way). And while I try to edit as best I can, please forgive any examples of poor writing you might come across whilst reading (if anyone happens to read this).

OK, so here goes...

I started by printing Amazon.com's Best Books of 2014 list and taking a look at what I will be reading for the next year. I plan to check with my library first to see what they have that I can check out. After that I plan to use Amazon.com's online used book market. 

In the days up to January first I will go down the list and mark which ones I can get from the library and which ones I will have to buy, I have a feeling I will have to purchase most of the list so I might need to get a larger bookcase as my three shelf one is already overflowing ha ha ha.

I guess you might want to know a little about me as I expect some of my writings might stray from the direct topic. I am 27, single and living in southwest Iowa in a town of roughly 4,000 people. My job allows me to read (or watch t.v. shows on my laptop) for the majority of my shift. I have two cats at home, Nibbler and Sweet Pea aka Mama. I am quite a bookworm and enjoy reading paper books and do not own an e-reader. Something about the conversion to digital books rubs me the wrong way I suppose. 

I believe this is all for now, more to come :)
