52 in 52 Begins!

Hey everyone!

So now that the new year has begun so has my 52 in 52 (that is 52 books in 52 weeks)! Taking on one book a week for a year is on my bucket list and as a college student this is one of the perfect times to accomplish this! I’m excited to explore new and old classic stories. Reading is one of my main passions and I hope to share with you some insight into the books at the end of each week when I’ve finished them. If you want a sneak peak at what I’m reading this year so you can look forward to reviews and insights or conversation on the books  check out my list below 🙂

Two of them are my all-time favorites. I'd like to give you a small piece of advise: if you don't like a book after the first 50-75 pages, dump it - it ain't gettin' any better. Life is too short to read bad books, and there a million good ones out there. Read Less
