Books for 2012

I'm not very good at making resolutions, but there are a few books that I would like to read sometime this year.  Here's a list of my top 10:

1. Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor
2. Angelfall by Susan Ee
3. Magebane by Lee Arthur Chane
4. A Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire #1) by George R.R. Martin
5. Bloodhound (Beka Cooper #2) by Tamora Pierce
6. Shiver (The Wolves of Mercy Falls #1) by Maggie Stiefvater
7. The Maze Runner by James Dashner
8. Legend by Marie Lu
9. Starcrossed (Thief Errant #1) by Elizabeth C. Bunce
10. The Water Wars by Cameron Stracher


They're not necessarily in any order. Hopefully I'll be able to get to them before my workload gets too heavy at school.  I'll write reviews when I've finished them.  Wish me luck!

The Beginning

Hello hello.  I have mulled it over.  I have thought it out.  And I have decided...to make a blog.  But I am very selfish, because this blog will probably benefit me more than it will benefit you.  I wanted a way to keep track of the books I've been reading, or to remember why a certain book brings instant fear and loathing in my mind (though I daresay there haven't been many of those), and so here it is!  My selfish gift to me for the new year. 

Also, I wish I could say I made this blog as a New Year's Resolution.  But I didn't.  Hadn't even thought of it, to tell you the truth.  But then again, I don't resolve to do anything each new year because I never follow through with them (nor do I even remember them).  So here we are!  You.  And me.  You reading my words, me writing them.  ...It's quite intimate, no? 

Well then I'll be off!  And I plan to have put together a book review of my latest read The Girl with the Steel Corset, which inadvertently started off my new year with a whimper.  But I'll get to that later.
