a Book blog

So I have decided that my blog deserves a purpose. Not that writing about my rather mundane life won't be meaningful, but for my reader's sake, I want my blog to be something more. Plus, since I'm majoring in English, I can blog and tell myself I'm doing homework. :) So this is my proposal: my blog will be a book blog. As I read books for classes or just for fun, I'll tell you what I think - Was it entertaining? Was it meaningful? Did I love the symbolism? Or was it the imagery that really got me? I'll be writing about books like these

-we really have most of these books in my house. Seriously, the same books, leather bound with a ribbon book mark and everything :) -

and books like this

I'll continue writing about my wonderful, mundane life, too, for those of you who aren't as obsessed with literature as I am. I like to think that somebody cares about my life. If not, at least my mother will read those posts. :)

And if you are wondering about a certain book that I haven't posted anything on, leave a comment and ask me. I'll let you know what I think (if I've read it) or what I've heard (if I haven't).

I think this is a good idea. It'll give me the chance to reflect on what I read and express it in a somewhat coherent way. Great practice, lots of fun for me, and hopefully somewhat helpful to my book-loving friends. Good thinking, Lauren. :)
