Welcome to my blog!

I'm 29 years old and I've honestly never blogged before in my life.  I read a lot of blogs but never decided to create one until now.  So why start now?  Well I decided I needed an outlet to talk about the books I have read or am currently reading.

My reading days were few and far between when I was younger.  Ask my Dad, he used to push me to read and let's face it, that's probably why I hated the idea so much.  Nobody wants to be pushed to do anything when they are younger.  So I rebelled against the idea.  Years later he was shocked to find out that I'd actually read all but the last two Harry Potter books.

I went on vacation with my husband and his immediate family to Lake Powell in 2008.  It was on this vacation that his sisters decided I should give Twilight a shot.  I had heard of these books and even seen the trailer for the movie in front of Batman Begins in July 2008.  I rolled my eyes at the thought of another teen vampire type movie.  But there I was, setting out on the 7 hour car ride down to Knabe, UT with Twilight in my hands.  I opened the book and was probably two pages in when the book took a hold of me and didn't let go for an entire week.  I read the entire series while we were on vacation.  Ask my husband now, he felt I was anti-social but I still did plenty of family activities while we were there.

It took a few years after reading The Twilight Saga to get into reading more books.  I have since read The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, City of Ash, City of Glass and City of Fallen Angels; The Hunger Games; The Infernal Devices: Clockwork Angel; The Caster Chronicles: Beautiful Creatures, Beautiful Darkness and Beautiful Chaos.   I am currently reading the Fallen series by Lauren Kate.  I'll do a post on this and the rest of these shortly!
