Reading list {{2015}}

Once upon a time, I was an English major.
That meant I spent the majority of my time reading. And writing. And writing about reading. And also, surprisingly enough, reading about writing.
In short, a lot of words went in and out of my brain waves for 4 solid years.

The photo above is from one of my literature-intensive semesters. Those books were what I read for one semester - and most of them, if my old Instagram caption is correct, not even all of them. (I was taking 3 English literature courses, a French literature course in French, and a French literature course in English.)

I do truly miss the days where 90% of my "free" time was spent curled up with a good book. Of course, there were some I hated (ahem, Frankenstein, ahem) and some that bored me (anything William Faulkner). But I loved it.

I've decided to read a lot more in 2015, as part of my goals for the year. I don't have specific goals on types of books except I want to read 25 books this year. (To be completely honest, I wanted to shoot for 50. But I'm going to be realistic with the amount of free time I have and only go for 25. If I go over, that's fine!)

Want to see what's on my to-read list? it's your lucky day!
