It's March 21st at nearly 11:00pm here in South Jersey. It's officially Spring but good ol' Toby, the snowstorm, didn't know that. I had no work to go into today so what better way to spend my warm and cozy day in than to start a blog. I thought this would be a good place for me to gather my thoughts about the books I read. I guess in some way this is a bit of a journal for me but I'd like to think I can also be creative and share this journey with you. Do you ever read a book and love it or hate it but then forget the details about what you loved or hated? No? Just me?
For this first post let me give you a rundown of my Goodreads Reading Challenge for 2018. I have not done this challenge before so I've started with 30 books. As of today I have 9 books that I have read to date. I will post about each of those for my upcoming posts but for now here is my 9 of 30 books read in 2018.
The books I am currently reading are:
Here's to Chapter 1. I plan to blog here not only to get words out of my brain but also to write about the books I am reading, have read, plan to read.. and so on. I've titled the Blog "Julia's Paperback" for 2 reasons. One, I LOVE a paperback over a hardback book. Two, a paperback is often the cheaper version of publication.. kind of the underdog. That is what I am my friends. I am the underdog! I am new to this and I am not perfect nor will I ever be. Just pick me up and give me a sniff and a read me while you cozy up with your favorite cup of tea. Laugh at my stupid mistakes or get angry at what I think of your favorite book! Best of all leave me a comment and lets chat. That's what it's all about!
xx, Julia
