Growing up and well into my 20's I would devour books. That is to say, there was hardly a time when I didn't have my nose in a book; I was always reading something. And then I got a car so no longer could I read while on my commute - averaging about two hours a day. But if I'm even more honest, I discovered blogs. And other people discovered blogs and started their own. And then there were tons of great blogs out there and so instead of reading books, I was reading blogs. Ugh, that feels horrible saying but it's true. On my spare time I'd read blogs instead of books. And while there is nothing wrong with reading blogs; I do miss getting lost in a good book. So, time to get back on the wagon.
I've mentioned several times on here that I bought an eReader and, combined with a solid effort, I've been reading a lot more. No where near as much as I once did but enough that I feel like a reader again (and if you too are a reader you know what that means). I'd forgotten how much I love to get lost in a good story and that thirst to learn more once the pages have closed; it's a wonderful feeling.
In order to challenge myself, I've set a goal of reading at least 24 books this year. I haven't read that many books in a long time but I feel really enthused by the challenge. To support my goal I started a Good Reads account (find me here!) and am enjoying logging in and tracking the books I want to read, discovering new ones, and writing short reviews once I've finished a book. So far I've only written one review but the goal is to have 24 more by the end of 2015.
Do you consider yourself a reader? What are you currently reading or what's on your list?
