It's been a minute

So it's been about a minute since I last posted something.  I could blame it on events that happen in my life, but lets be real I've been lazy with a capital L.  My hope for this year is to remember why I wanted to start a blog in the first place.  I didn't have a lot of postings to begin with, so I'm not even sure if anyone has read them, but I'm doing this for me and I would like to finish something that I start.  I have books, A LOT OF BOOKS in fact that I want to read through this year and write reviews about them.  I know you can pretty much write a review anywhere, so really why start a blog. Again, it's for me and if someone would like to read what I have to say, and agree with my thoughts then I've accomplished something.

A Shit Show Year!!!!

 So it's been another minute.  I have been reading and writing reviews, but they have mostly been through my Instagram account Shortygirlreads.  I am however going to start writing more in my blog.  Last year was a shit show (COVID can bite me) I got furloughed from my job which then turned into a layoff.  I have been helping my family and trying to figure where I want my life to go, but reading romance has stayed the same.  I'm going to make more of an effort to post my reviews, I have SO MANY BOOKS!!!! My bedroom is literally like a library

Hello there!

Hello! I started a blog today because it is something I have been wanting to do for a while.  I love to read; I read a lot of books and I love discussing about the books I have read.  What better way to chat and get someone else's opinion, and some other recommendations, then to begin a blog.  I know there is a tone of blogs out there about all sorts of books, and also for writing, but why not throw my hat in the mix?  I work a 9-5 job to pay the bills, but reading and writing is my passion, hopefully, someday I will be able to call myself an author. I am always thinking about the next book I am going to read, or about another story I will be writing (I am currently writing three stories by the way).  So again, I would like to become a part of this community of storytellers. Okay, here I go... The book I recently just finished reading is called The Light We Lost  by Jill Santopolo.  I bought this book as an impulse buy some time ago....

Good Reads Challenge!

Hello there! So I entered the GoodReads challenge to see how many books I can read for this year.  I entered 50 books!  When I was thinking of the number I thought I could do about a 100, but then thinking it through a little more I had to remember of what goes on in my daily life, which to be honest not that much.  I put 50 for a more realistic number for the year.  I went through the books I currently have on my shelf (have not included my ebooks) and so far I am at 27 books.  I have a few books on my E-reader and then I have a list of books I want to buy this year.  Needless to say, I am going to need a bigger shelf if I continue to challenge myself for 2018.  The books I have selected range from the classics to today's popular fiction.  These are books I have bought but never read, so instead of buying more books, I figure I would read what I already have first and then treat myself to something new.  For me, there is n...
