A challenge for Myself

So I'm an English Major. I read ALOT for school. I also take pride in the fact that I've been writing stories for about as long as I have been able to hold a pencil. But I can honestly tell you that in the past, I never really used to read for pleasure. I feel like I'm cheating myself as both a writer and just a human being by not doing that. So I went to B&N Two weeks ago and bought two books. This was of course after it took me 3 months to read "World War Z" by Max Brooks. (Ironically which is the "zombie" genre) but so far I've read 2 books in 2 weeks. So I'm planning on pushing myself to have a...

BOOK-A-WEEK-CHALLENGE!

I don't want to buy any new books until after Christmas, so with that being said, I'm going to read ones that I haven't had time for...or reread some that were good. and grade them. haha. In light of the fact that Harry Potter is coming out next week, I think that the seventh book may be the 11/12-11/19 book of the week. :)

"World War Z"- B+ I liked how it was set up like an interveiw, but it was dry in some places.

"A Great and Terrible Beauty" - A! Very disappointed that I'm making myself wait until Christmas to read the sequel.

"Evermore" B-/C+ - it saved itself at the end...but up until Damen tells Ever the truth, I was like...Twilight, twilight, Twilight...which lets face it...we don't need more than one of.

Haha, that was kinda fun.

Story upadate: Patrick is becoming likable? It's like this character is fighting for his place in this book. afoweurouwriuoiwde!
