Welcome!

Hello and welcome to the Fifty Book Project! My name is Christy, and I'm a book lover who has lost her way.

Let's be honest--there are tons of amazing television shows on. Doctor Who, Sherlock, Supernatural, The Walking Dead, and Once Upon a Time are just a sampling of the fantasy worlds that occupy a large amount of my time. But in between the zombies, the fairytale characters, and the time traveling, I haven't picked up a book in ages. The last time I remember getting so excited about a book that I just couldn't put it down was when I read the Hunger Games (and I read that for the first time about 2 years ago).

This has prompted me to resolve to read more in 2014. My original goal was 100 books, but considering everything that's going on in my life, I think 50 is still crazy but slightly more manageable.

So a little more about me--I'm 23 and working towards a Master's degree in secondary education. Classes actually start a week from today, and I'm really excited to get started! I already have a Bachelor's in English, and I have to say, when picking a major in college--go for what excites you! I had so much fun in my upper level English classes, and I wouldn't trade that for any high-powered lawyer job or fancy doctor's position in the world (though my parents sure wish I would).

I also have a full-time, soon to be part-time, job, and am engaged to the most amazing man in the world. :) Our wedding will probably  happen in late 2015, so much of the planning will probably start happening during my second and third semesters this year.

So there you go! Join me as I journey through different genres and worlds this year. First book should be coming soon!
