It has been almost an entire year since my last post and I am posting today to share with you all some of the books I have read in the past year. I set a goal for myself to read 45 books and ended up reading 63! 2015 was a year of literary open-mindedness. I read a litany of books; non-fiction, fiction, literature, fantasy, YA, travel writing, memoir and felt that I learned so much more about the human experience. Because of my success last year I have set a 2016 goal of 70 books and feel confident that I will reach this goal.
This past year I also had the absolute pleasure of meeting one of my favorite authors, Patrick Rothfuss. If you haven't read his novels, The King Killer Chronicles (soon to be adapted into a TV series), I strongly suggest you do. Meeting him certainly was a bucket-list item that I was more than happy to check off. I hope this year brings more signed novels, more author events, and even more books.
An update on me: It comes as no surprise that one of my primary focuses in life is to share my love of reading with others and to (hopefully) guide others to find literary success and inspiration. So it comes as no surprise that now, having completed my Masters in English/Literature, I am now working on a Teaching Credential in hopes to someday teach AP High School English.
