Okay, as much as I love reading I sometimes have the hardest time doing it. Hmmm? But I'm a "writer" (aspiring, yes). And to write you've got to read--duh! I know this. But sometimes I find myself reading ABOUT writing too much (cough--I'm newly addicted to John Truby's “The Anatomy of Story.”, and I've re-read anything Donald Maas has published).
But I'm re-jumping on to my New Years Resolutions (have we all forgotten about them) and creating my list for my MUST READ LIST
(ps find me on Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/7728777-marion)
1. Cress by Marissa Meyer
I've been hearing about this book for a while, and I began following Marissa Meyer on Facebook even before that. I have a sample of the book in my iBooks and have even started reading it. But I just keep getting distracted. This one is my #1 on my MUST READ list.
2. Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins.
Please don't GASP in shock. I have read the first book of the trilogy...I just need to get to the second and third. And on top of that (deep breath) I haven't watched any of the movies. I really hope I'm not the only one with this problem. Both the books and the movies are HUGE ones on my list.
3. Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell
For everyone who can relate loves YA as much as I do and haven't read this one yet, this ones needs to be on both of our lists. I've read the description, reviews and a sample of the first few pages, and I can already tell it's going to be sweet---like "awww" sweet, that is. By Rainbow Rowell, a huge up and coming YA author, she is also author to Fangirl, which looks like another one we will all be able to connect to.
Okay, this one I am actually currently reading, but it is still on my list because I haven't been diligent enough to get through it as quickly as it deserves. I ended up getting a sample of this book and then immediately purchased the whole thing...where this angst has gone? I'm not sure, but I'm going to bring it back. This one will be done soon!
