Reading Frenzy 2010
Sunday, January 10th, 2010 | Uncategorized
Reading has been a love of mine since I can remember. I actually remember being in Kindegarten and riding in the backseat of my parents car and reading all the billboards my little eyes could see. I just thought then as I do now that reading is one of the best things I’ve ever learned to do. May sound simple to most people but if you love to read you can relate to turning the pages of a book that you just can’t put down and suddenly you are in another place, maybe another time, or a far off country you’ve yet to visit.
Its here in one of my recent reading frenzies that I’ve decided to give myself a challenge. You see its been my long time obsession with one day becoming a writer. My only problem is that I am horrible with grammer. Having said this I have been doing some studying of one particular author and how he began his career. Now I know that he is super talented and all but did you know that Nicholas Sparks first intentions were not even to become a writer. He has however mastered his craft and I am grateful to him for this because I have enjoyed many of his books. In reading about Nicholas. Sparks, I discovered that he reads about one hundred books a year. Having said this I suppose you can already guess what my new goal for this year will be, well at least one of them. I am going to try and read as many books as I can and write about them on my blog.
I would love any thoughts you may have to offer me on this subject and especially any books you may want to recommend. I have already read two books by Nicholas Sparks, Dear John, and A Walk To Remember and a third book called, Confessions of Fitswilliam Darcy which was written by Mary Street. So thats three books so far and I am working on my fourth book as we speak. I am hoping this process will help me grow in my writing and my knowledge of the craft even if it is only for my own enjoyment!

Hey Jenn, are yo looking for just fiction books? I am reading a fiction book called “The Prayers of Agnes Sparrow”, by Joyce Morgan. I have it on my Kindle and so far, its been a very enjoyable light read.
