Hey everyone!
So now that the new year has begun so has my 52 in 52 (that is 52 books in 52 weeks)! Taking on one book a week for a year is on my 
bucket list and as a college student this is one of the perfect times to accomplish this! I’m excited to explore new and old classic stories. Reading is one of my main passions and I hope to share with you some insight into the books at the end of each week when I’ve finished them. If you want a sneak peak at what I’m reading this year so you can look forward to reviews and insights or conversation on the books check out my list below 🙂

2 February 2012 at 11:21 pmI think you have an interesting selection. Two of them are my all-time favorites. I’d like to give you a small piece of advise: if you don’t like a book after the first 50-75 pages, dump it – it ain’t gettin’ any better. Life is too short to read bad books, and there a million good ones out there.

4 January 2012 at 1:25 amI have actually read a number of these: 5, 13, 19, 20, 27, & 44. I read 2 others but can’t remember a single thing about them. Looking forward to your take in these books.

4 January 2012 at 1:34 amThanks! I look forward to reading them too! I’ve read some of Salinger and Cabot before and have liked them so I’m hoping all goes well. The others I haven’t read anything else by, but I’ve been recommended to try out. So we will have to see how they all go!

3 January 2012 at 11:24 pmI’ve been dying to read Audition! I found it browsing the shelves at Barnes and Noble and wanted to read it over winter break, but I decided to put it on my 52 in 52 so i could break up all the classic works and have something to really look forward to reading. I’m so honored that you commented and I just can’t wait to read it! Thanks for writing it and thanks for the luck!

3 January 2012 at 3:35 pmI’ve read a bunch of the ones on your list (The Book Thief is one of my all time favourites) and have #4 and #37 on my TBR list for this year. I’m also doing a 52 book challenge this year and am categorizing the books alphabetically. This week I’m reading And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie, next week I’ll be reading Thirteen Reasons Why (I’m really excited about that one!). Good luck on your challenge!

3 January 2012 at 3:54 pmThank you for sharing! My friend recommended Thirteen Reasons Why and said it was excellent so I had to put it on my list! I’ve been wanting to read Christie too, but I just haven’t had time (lame reason I know!) but i’m hoping I’ll be able to get to it soon! I wish you lots of luck on your 52 as well!!
