Riot Grrrl=Bookish Grrl
As the "riot grrrl" movement has pretty much died away, I feel like begin bookish is the new way to revolt against society. I also feel like removing one of the "r"s in grrrl is rebellious.We shall see how that all works out in the end.
On to my rebellion, reading. Just a little 411 about yours truly. I adore reading. I wish I could get paid big bucks to do nothing but read. Sadly, that is not an option with the current life I live. There are times I feel I am too busy to read, but I make time anyway. Reading is probably my life blood. One of my biggest fears is dying without reading all of the books on my "to read" list. There are a lot of books on that list, friends. A LOT! When I am not participating in college courses, I can usually hold down about 3 books at a time. My husband thinks I'm crazy for doing that. My oldest son thinks that 3 is child's play. (I think I've created a monster with that one!)
I keep track of the books I am reading and have read through Goodreads (no kickbacks, sad face). I find it an easy website/app, to use and keep myself honest with what I am reading and what I would like to read. I also add books that I would like to read so I can pull up the list when I am struggling to remember a book off the top of my head. It has come in handy on MULTIPLE occasions, for which I am forever grateful.
I created this blog to really delve into my reading habits, especially for a course I am taking. Once the course is over I hope to continue to share about the books I am reading and can help others find books worth reading. I welcome suggestions, comments, and occasional criticisms. I will be posting my first "official" blog about books within the next week or so and I hope it is entertaining for everyone. The books I will be discussing are The Odds of Loving Grover Cleveland, Asking for It, and Symptoms of Being Human.
