I'll admit I went through my own phases of picking up and putting down books that I never quite finished too! I'd like to have a better reading year.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.maritimeshopaholic.com" rel="nofollow"> http://www.maritimeshopaholic.com </a>Chelseahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00057659963592070593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2243313496437617269.post-68904872881831750052011-01-02T17:53:17.472-08:002011-01-02T17:53:17.472-08:00I think some of my favorite books I read in 2010 w...I think some of my favorite books I read in 2010 would have to be:<br /><br />Into The Wild / Jon Krakauer<br />How to Read Literature Like a Professor / Thomas Foster<br />O Pioneers! / Willa Cather<br /><br />& definitely, definitely, A Moveable Feast by Hemingway. It's one of my favorite books ever now.

Hopefully once my exams finish on the 21st of Jan, I can properly sit down with a good book and cuppa :)<br /><br />Much love,<br />Hannie - <a href="http://teaandbiscuits13.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Tea and Biscuits</a><br />xoxomisshanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01993646743783656068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2243313496437617269.post-78356762709443320352011-01-02T14:24:50.929-08:002011-01-02T14:24:50.929-08:00The Book of Awesome sounds, well, awesome.

School...Man, I'm with you on the reading slump. School was a huge factor in that problem though. I constantly have SO MUCH reading for school that I can't justify reading books for my own pleasure. I've definitely been on it since the semester ended. Almost done with Everything is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer. I have one recommendation for sure though- The Book of Awesome. It's from the blog 1,000 Awesome Things and it is AMAZING! Obviously it's the type of book you can just dip in and out of whenever but it's so funny and made me so happy. Any time I was in a bad mood, I'd just pull out that book and read up on a few more awesome things and my mood would be lifted. Do it! :DStacey Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15994106286491642451noreply@blogger.com
