Hey readers! It’s been a while since I shared something about events in my life, and recently I accomplished something that has been long coming! I have reached another milestone in my brief time on this earth: College Graduation! I’m officially a CCNY Graduate. This means I finally have a degree! Perhaps this can give me the boost I need to find a job or begin my career in my field. I’ve already applied the things I’ve learned in my classes to my writing and my thinking process, but there is still so much to learn.
With this blog being born to help build my slowly growing resume, it has also proven to be a sort of log in my achievements since I started. For starters, I’m reading a lot more than I have in a really long time, and I love it! I’ve also been forced to try new genres as well as new authors, and very few novels have disappointed me. I’ve learned to take more risks and to be spontaneous in my selections when at the bookstore, or scrolling through free e-books. Reading all these stories has also provided me with a new source of material for my own work, with ideas and inspirations around every corner. This only proves to me that this path is what I love and plan to do for the rest of my able life.
I’m still in the middle of my reading list and with us being in June, I’m half way my time frame for the reading challenge for this year. Books are constantly adding themselves to my reading list on the side, and I must admit, some have even distracted me from the ones I should be reading! Perhaps I can make a few of those into reading reviews in the future. Now that I have also attached my Twitter account to the site, I should be able to message or interact with readers if you wish to send me messages or share your thoughts with me.
I hope everyone has an awesome start to their summer, and stay tuned for the coming posts! Next up is the review for “The Lovely Bones” by Alice Sebold, and I’ll probably include a quick movie review for it as well. After that, I plan to read “Hunger Games”, followed by “The 5th Wave”.
I will leave you all with a quote in honor of the late Mohammed Ali, who passed today; "Impossible is just a word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing."
Keep moving forward, readers!
