2012 Book List!

I've been trying to encourage myself to read more often and pick up a book instead of turning on the television so often, so here's a list of 10 books I definitely want to read this year! I am actually ashamed that I have not read some of these already, but I am determined to finally start/finish them. :)

1. The Help
2. Water for Elephants
3. The Hobbit (a must read before the movie comes out! Already started it :3)
4. Fight Club
5. Choke
6. The Hunger Games
7. War Horse
8. An Elephant in the Garden
9. The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo
10. Gone With the Wind (on my bucket list to read and complete)

Reading can be a challenge in college when there are so many assigned readings, projects and papers that constantly keep me busy. I've been thinking about buying a Kindle lately, but I haven't decided. I'm a fan of books and the way books feel, so a Kindle might rid me of that pleasure.
Regardless of busy college life, hopefully I can find time to sit down and relax with a book that I want to read every once in a while!

I hate being sick.

So... I think I might be catching a cold. It was probably from a kid at work... ugh. I'm going to start taking a packet of Emergen-C every morning before work, now. All I really have is a sore throat, slight congestion, and a pretty severe headache. I shouldn't even be on the computer right now; I should be sleeping.

Anyway, aside from feeling under the weather, I also felt pretty productive today. Spencer and I loaded my car with all of my books I've been meaning to get rid of for years and brought them to a used bookstore. I ended up getting around $85 store credit and $9 in cash. After getting all of those books out, I felt pretty accomplished. With my store credit, I bought the 1st season of The Big Bang Theory and a giant Star Wars book filled with poster art. It's really cool. :) Spencer said it would make a nice coffee table book, haha.

Oh, I also got a new phone! I love it so far. Learning how to text on a touch screen is hard, though. Especially with autocorrect always trying to get in the way of my slang. :P I've had the weirdest things come up, but luckily I catch the mistakes before I send them. Sometimes.

I better go to bed now so I can rest up for work tomorrow. I'm just thankful I only have to work for 2 hours. Yay, Mondays.
