There. And Back. Again.

Apparently I'm insane because I think I'll try and bring this blog back. I don't have time to review every book I've read, so I'm gonna review my favorites since I last blogged, and then will be (every now and then) reviewing books I particularly loved.

So yeah. 

This is your fault Brittany. You blogged and I was all like, damn, it's been a while since I've seen the written word. Tumblr is fun, but so freaking condensed, I feel guilty writing more than two complete sentences together.

So yeah. I am obviously insane.

Also although I try like mad to find my errors, I am notoriously a bad speller. So, apologies in advance. Hopefully, at the very least, I can spell the titles of the books correctly.

Lastly, the font I previously used seems to no longer be an option, so I guess I'm going with something different now? Ok. 

Peace, Sarah D (Sadie)

I'm Back

I'm back and I'm going to continue writing a review about every book I read. However, even though I am about six months behind I intend to review them all in order of how I read them. It might take me a few months to catch up, maybe I never will.
But I read 80 incredibly good books this year, and I think they deserve to be written about. Enjoy!

Welcome!

I really like reading and there is very little I am unwilling to try. This blog is where I will review the books I've read and keep you updated on how many I've read during the course of the year.

I always wanted to do a blog about my favorite books, but I've never been brave enough. It seemed as if I was claiming to some hold sort of superior taste in books; it seemed a bit snobbish. I'm not trying to be a book snob here- trust me, I've the farthest thing! I just want to share what I'm reading with the world, and maybe find some fellow bloggers who share my taste in literature.

I'll be covering graphic novels and children's books, but probably also nonfiction and theology. Basically, I'll read anything. To introduce my taste in books, here are some of my favorites:

The House of Mirth, Edith Wharton
Downright Dencey, Caroline Dale Snedeker
Rebecca, Daphne Du Maurier
Harry Potter, JK Rowling
Howl's Moving Castle, Diana Wynne Jones
Orthodoxy, GK Chesterton
Scott Pilgrim, Bryan Lee O'Malley
Brideshead Revisited, Evelyn Waugh

There are about two dozen more that I think of as favorites, but this will hopefully just get you acquainted with my taste. Last year I read 150 books and it really shaped my identity as a reader. I'm not going to share that list here (it is a little too massive) but a bunch of those titles will probably crop up in future posts.

I hope someone reads my posts here, I hope someone tries some of the books I recommend, but most of all, I hope anyone who is reading this blog feels free to comment and leave me some suggestions of their own.
