When we read and we usually like the story of the book, what we do is take note of the author and make sure to read another novel of his/her.

That's what happened to me, I was not a Meg Cabot fan, though I love Princess Diaries, but my weekly trip to bookstore gave me an opportunity to pick up one of her book. "She went all the way" I picked it up from the 2nd hand bookstore because I thought that from the rest of the book she was the most know author and I badly need a book to read. It was a light read and I liked it, I was not looking for something "Da Vinci Code" type, just a light read that would make my mind wonder and dream and will take me to the book.

I must have underestimated my annual calendar because I challenged my self to red 50 books in Goodreads. I thought "50 books? Oh that's nothing, I have all the time in the world." And guess what? It's mid of November and here's my reading challenge. Apparently I didn't plan on being too busy during mid year but I'm not complaining I just didn't expect it to be like that. Still, I'm happy to I have read 25 books so far. And these are mostly YA books. What's with YA anyway? Am I old to be reading it? But that's another blog entry I suppose. I am happy to discover new authors that I will sure follow (Sarah Haas, Cassandra Rose Clarke) and the likes. With these 2...
