I have read many books over the years and now can't remember exactly why I liked or disliked a book or why a character sounds so familiar. This blog is my way of improving my memory. I will be reviewing and discussing books that I read, as/after I read them. Do not read a post if you have not read the book and you want to! I am not holding anything back so many plot lines will potentially be ruined. I cannot be held responsible for any ruination of these books, as you have had fair warning. Any comments, discussions, or recommendations are welcome.

Getting back into writing... or rather posting...

So I may have been a bit lax in my reviews this past year or two.  To be fair, I had to deal with spring quarter of third year, the nerves of going into fourth year, and then fourth year itself.  12 months of 24/7 learning and feeling like a complete idiot most of the time.  I did still manage to find time to read but as writing about the readings is not really all that appealing to me, I could not find time to keep up with this.  Now that I am out of school, moved to the other side of the country, have a job, and am starting to actually live a life, I thought I might give this a try again.  Possibly because I just read some books that would love to be written up and one of the characters from a trilogy I just finished is a book blogger.  Reading about her love and passion for books sparked mine.  I am the first to admit she is much more dedicated than I am and much less picky.  Still it will be interesting to see how long this lasts this time. 
I am going to try to be much more succinct and general when discussing a book.  My previous posts were way too long and was part of the reason I stopped posting.... I dreaded spending all that time regurgitating what I had just read.  I will try to bring up points I thought were important, particularly enjoyed, or downright disagreed with.  Other than that, I will try to avoid going into too much depth.  I will assume anyone who wanders accidentally onto this page and reads a post will have actually read the book before and so will not need the play-by-play I tried to provide earlier.  And if I can't remember enough about the book based on the blurb I write about it, well then I guess I will just have to read the book again.  Such a tough life.  ;)
