Blog Makeover

           Finally trying to get things in order here... I was trying to read as many books as I could for the End of the World
           Marathon, I couldn't read as many as I wanted, I was making time to make changes to this blog. This is a random
           post and I'll describe how things work or what they are.

New Reading Challenges

        I found two other reading challenges that I want to join.
         I'm adding more books to each month, I'm excited for 2013!

End of the World Marathon

      

        December 21 passed and the world didn't end, but the marathon did.
        I didn't read as many books as I wanted but I managed to read 7 books in 21
        days. I should have thought about it better and probably should have started
        with the smaller books.

Rating Monkeys

       Most of the books I read, since I'm so picky I don't read just any book,

       I give it 5 (in this case) bookmarks (or monkey bookmarks).

       I hardly give ratings lower than 3 and since I choose the books very 

       carefully, I don't think I've read one, by choice, that I didn't like.

       I guess this rating is pretty much for fiction, since it's what I read 

       most, because non fiction books you can't really rate by a twist that 

       you didn't like because it's not made up.

December 2012

    Since December 21 2012 is the end of the Mayan calendar and everyone is
    talking about it, some say it's the end of the world (this doesn't mean I believe
      it), others say it's the end of an era and have different ideas, I was thinking
    it could be a theme for this month.

Reading Challenges

     I decided to join some reading challenges; I found a new way to find 
     more books to read.

     This is the order I found them and joined:
          - Paranormal Reading Challenge
          - Nicholas Sparks Reading Challenge
          - E-book Reading Challenge

Read by theme book club

                                                     

       I joined goodreads in September and found the book club the first day. The
      theme that month was teenage protagonist; I didn't have a book for that
      month’s theme so I had to look for one. In the end I chose The Maze Runner
      by James Dashner and just had to finish the whole series that month since I
      couldn't put the books down once I started reading them.

Introduction

       I'll use the pseudonym Rivie. I'm 24 years old.

       I love reading and talking about books I like and have read. I'm always
       looking for new books to read even though I have plenty on my to
         read list.

         Mostly I like thrillers, mystery and fiction. But I've also read non 
         fiction and classics that I've found interesting.
