What is the Blog About?


Two years ago I started another blog, 40 books before 40 as part of a New Year's resolution.  I really enjoyed reading for it and then writing my thoughts, although I didn't complete 40 books that year because it turned out I was knocked up and subsequently, having the baby made my life very busy and mentally draining.  So, I want to give the whole blogging thing another try in anticipation of another new year's resolution.  But, I figure, why wait for the new year?  I'll probably be busy that day and evening anyway, since I've already got plans with friends and family.

So, I thought I'd start a general blog about books mostly, but also books or TV shows that tie in with the books.  I have not given myself a cut off date this time, but I am hoping I will get a chance to blog about 40 stories in books, on TV or on film that I enjoyed.

Also want to put in that I'm a big fan of the podcast Culturetopia from NPR.  Many of the books, and TV and films I'll be mentioning will probably have been discussed there.  I know this will be true of my first post.  The first time I heard about the Hunger Games, it was part of a discussion about young adult novels, and why they seemed to be getting "darker."  I was intrigued, so I got a hold of the Hunger Games and finished it within 2 days.  (I have long train rides to work). 

So, hope the two plus followers from my other blog will enjoy these too.
