The Fourth (The one where I discuss books I want to read this month)

As I believe I have mentioned I love to read. Ever since my mom read to me and my sister when we were very little I have been in love with books. I never have a set plan for what I am going to read but I often have a running list in my head of what I want to read or listen to as I am a serious audio book lover. This month I was planning on finishing Divergent by Veronica Roth and then going right into Insurgent the second book. However I have put Divergent on the back burner (you read the post before this to find out why). I decided that Confessions of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella would be just what I needed after trying to read Divergent. I am also finally getting around to The Time Traveler's Wife from Audrey Niffenegger. It's a book I have wanted to read for more than a year and I just kept finding an excuse not to do it. I think the problem is I have heard so much hype about it that I am afraid to be disappointed when I actually do read it.I decided I would also need some classics in my life and have decided to read Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte and what I consider a classic Anne of Avonlea from L.M Montgomery which is the second book in the Anne of Green Gables series. I watched the Anne of Green Gables when I was very young way before I knew they were based on books and it is easily one of my all time favorite movies. I am sure to love Anne all over again. I am also listening to a couple audio books this month first is Under the Dome from Stephen King. I am not really a fan of either Stephen King or this particular genre but the back description was really intriguing so I decided to give it a go. I am already on disk 4 (this is a CD box set) and so far it's been a touch slow but interesting enough to keep me listening. I also downloaded an MP3 from my library called Blind Goddess by Anne Holt. Holt is a Norwegian author and I really love her writing. I have already read 1222 which is actually the second book in this series but I wasn't aware when I picked that one up.  I am not actually sure that I will finish all of these books this month but they are all on the list. I think I am most excited for The Time Travelers Wife as I really want to watch the movie already. I will probably check in half way through the month and talk about what I have finished if anything and what I have liked or disliked.

Until next time
If there is a next time
