I put “Water for Elephants” on my to read list! This sounds lovely. I need to do more reading.
I simply want to mention I am very new to weblog and really loved this web site. Likely I’m likely to bookmark your blog post . You really have outstanding writings. Thank you for sharing your web site.
Some ideas for you;
The Road to Nab End, Anna Karenina, JPod, Microserfs
Crazy! Your blog reminds me a lot of my own which is why I’ve been snooping around a bunch of your posts and pages.
I’m also a 25 year old wannabe writer disguising myself by day as a sales manager and trying to break out of my routine and try new experiences. I love your 26 before 26 list and think that’s a great way to keep track of your progress and learning in life. I do something similar in my journal, and did post writing resolutions to work on. Your 2011 read off is a great idea and I set a goal to read at least a book a month too! So far I’ve been getting to two so I’m happy. Can’t wait to hear how you like Hunger Games and Water for Elephants cause they are on my list too! Good luck on your adventures!
I just finished reading Water for Elephants. I could not put down the book! It was amazing! I bet anything that you will also love it!
Thanks for the writeup. I definitely agree with what you are saying. I have been talking about this subject a lot lately with my father so hopefully this will get him to see my point of view. Fingers crossed!
Hi there, i just wanted to drop you a line to say that i thoroughly enjoyed this particular post of yours, I have subscribed to your RSS feeds and have skimmed a few of your posts before but this one really stood out for me. I know that I am just a stranger to you but I figured you might appreciate the appreciation
– Take care – and keep blogging.
Hi Emily! It’s my 2nd or 3rd time visiting your site… What a new look! You’re definitely a creative writer and graphic artist!
By the way it might help to add this to your 2011 reading challenge:
