Resurrecting Reading

So since I hit clinicals in the spring of 2012, I resigned myself to the fact that I wasn't going to have time for things like recreational reading. I have always been an avid reader -- from the times when we'd go the the library in the summer as children and I'd check out 10-15 books and read them all in a week. Yes, I had Spring Breaks, Christmas break, and summers, but it still wasn't the same as having total free time. I was always working, on vacation, or catching up on things I didn't have time for.

I can already feel myself starting to be the same way since I've started working full time. I come home wiped out on the days I work and just veg out in front of the TV. On days I'm off I will catch up on the gymnastics happenings, social media, errands, and things of that nature. I have decided that I am going to force myself to get back into reading, because there is no excuse! I also have so so many books that I have bought or have that I want to read/re-read. 

My goal is to read at least 30 minutes on days that I work and 1 hour on days that I don't work. I want to start out with realistic goals -- I work 12 hour days, so 30 minutes is a fair goal I think for those days.

Here is a list of books that I want to read:

1. Chronicles of Narnia

2. Re-read Harry Potter series

3. The Book Thief

4. Sookie Stackhouse novels (the ones I haven't read)

5. Re-read VC Andrews Dollanganger Series

6. Finish the Crossfire Series

7. The Divergent trilogy

I will keep you all updated on my progress, maybe I will do book review posts.
