50 Books in One Year ... Update

Well, I haven't been blogging much lately ... but I'd like to think that's because I'm working on the biography I have been assigned by Enslow Publishers (And loving it by the way.) ...  But truth be told, my family also keeps me super busy ... between Taekwondo, volunteer work, homework, and chores, I stay pretty busy. Still, I've also found some time to read too and I am VERY happy about that! It is by far my favorite pastime...

So far this year, I have read 14 books ...That is two books ahead of schedule (in order to make my goal of 50 books in one year). And, I am starting the 15th book this week.... (I will be reading IN TOO DEEP by Amanda Grace.)

Overall, I have read some really great books! I can't believe how many great authors are churning out really high quality books! They definitely have set the bar high for the rest of us ....

In case you're interested, here's a review of one of my favorites so far ...


My rating: 4 of 5 stars
After I read this book, I can tell why it was a nominee by the National Book Foundation. Excellent. Told from two perspectives, the author does an excellent job building two very different characters whose lives intersect. "How to Save a Life" is book that is believable, real and heartbreaking as young girls face both loss, pain and learn that together they can save a life. I can't really give you much more without giving away the plot, but the book had me in tears at points. Loved it.


Some other awesome titles include .... GETTING CAUGHT, THE QUEEN OF KENTUCKY, STAY, A LITTLE LESS GIRL and DITCHED. I would recommend any of these titles ... I was that pleased with each of them!
