I took a count yesterday and I reached 21/30 of my year goal for reading. I’m really impressed with myself. While this may not seem like a lot, I just finished school in May, have a full time job working between 40-60 hours a week and am a family oriented person. I’m glad I got back into reading.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I finished the first book in this popular fantasy series while I was on vacation. It is now one of my favorite fantasies. I am thankful to the booktuber that recommended this wonderful series. The book is so descriptive of its world and has such a complex magic systems. It reflects the world today, the separation of the rich and the poor and the powers in which religion can have on a population. I high recommend. I may write a more detailed review later. 

For me it started as a show.......

I  watched maybe one or two episodes before realizing it was a book. I love to read books before movies or shows, so I stopped everything to read this book. I won’t give away details, but half way through the book has a lull, a drop in story. I couldn’t get passed that. I had fallen in love with the little girl’s character and even the relationship of the two actors in the show, but the book had failed me and thus assuming the show would as well. So for now and until further notice you are DNF’d, The Passage by Justin Cronin

My favorite book for 8 years has been George Orwell’s 1984. An unusual favorite book, but it was also the book that really got me out of my comfort zone and enjoying more then the typical YA books. My motivation to read adult books and more complex dystopians is due to this books ability to surprise me with the complexity, and accuracy to what life is like now. Although it is slowly falling behind other books as my most favorite it still sits deep within my heart, and is the only book I own two copies of, well other than Alice in Wonderland. 

Fun Fact: George Orwell was a pen name for Eric Arthur Blair

I also love this book for its deep connection to my personal life, though I won’t say why. You will even see my profile is the iconic eye watching from above.
