What I Plan To Do With This Blog

"What do you do for fun? What's your hobby?" These are the questions that regularly get asked when you meet someone new. My answer is always the same. I read. It's more than a hobby to me now. It a way of life, a source of complete relaxation, a lifeline, an escape. It dominates my entire day.

It really started in grade 5. I had always read before but it was never with enthusiasm or real joy. I had read because the teachers told us too. We had our 15 minutes every morning of quiet time where we were expected to pick a short little novel and read it over the course of a couple weeks. But then I read "the book." It was the novel that changed everything for me. I looked forward to reading it every chance I got. Do you want to know what this book was? It was Coming Home by Lauren Brooke (aka Linda Chapman). The first book in the 25 book series, Heartland. I loved this book. I loved the characters, the horses, the dynamics. This series became everything to me. I read every Heartland book my teacher had on her shelf. And then I looked for more. This started a whole new life for me.

By the end of grade 6 I was reading novels like Crank by Ellen Hopkins. (I still don't know why that book was in the library at the elementary school). I'm not going to lie I was a die hard Twilight fan too. I grew out of it when I saw the movies, but to this day i have the series right up there on my shelf. Basically after that, reading was a huge part of my day. I never let a day go by where I don't read.

So that's where this blog come in. I've been dying to write about the books I read. To express what I liked about them, what I didn't like about them, rate them, give recommendations and just let my opinion out there. Id love to hear some of your opinions too! Its a discussion where we all can like what we like and dislike what we dislike. I'd love to hear some feed back from you guys and even some novel recommendations.


Cheers!XX
