Thanks to my Grandma Anne, I’m a voracious reader. She read me stories at bedtime whenever I was on the Big Island, bought me the entire Nancy Drew series as a young girl, and turned me on to some of the greatest books I’ve ever read.
Thanks to my parents, I’m the proud new owner of a Barnes & Noble Nook! Happy Christmas to me :) And now I’m even more excited than usual to read!
So in the spirit of challenging myself this year, and to make the most of my new gadget, I’m setting myself up with the 52 Book Challenge — Yup, I’m going to try and read 52 books this year. 52 weeks, 52 books; I hope I can keep up!
I have quite a wishlist in the works, of things I want to read (but I wish I could also share my B&N Nook wish list, cause there are even more books), and I’ll be sharing my progress here on Side Culture. I’m also trying to keep up with what I’m reading on Goodreads, so if you’re on that website, let’s be friends :)
Wish me luck!
I wanna know, what are you challenging yourself to do this year? Got any book reccommendations?
Cheers!

(1) blaine recommended a book in high school…i read it and lately i’ve beent thinking of it. (2) also there’s a movie based on a historical novel. (3) there’s a book i think christie actually recommended it to me…it’s about american economics/globalism/bullying.
1. whores on the hill by colleen curran
2. water for elephants by sara gruen (not just because i love elephants)
3. confessions of an economic hitman by john perkins (not just because he has the same last name as me)
if i had to say choose one of the three choose #3! mos def!
Why, thank you! And thanks for bringing the books to my hale the other day :)
