Hey people!
I like to read.
I like to read books.
I read lots of books this year.
Err...I mean, last year...pardon my mistake.
And my sentence combining capabilities are clearly lacking.

I Finally Have A...
Kindle!
I love reading. You know that.
So...ever since I heard the name Kindle, I've been curious. When I finally saw it before my very eyes though...I immediately turned my head away in disgust.
How could the people of this world even begin to try to replicate the joys of reading a physical book with this...this device? It's a massive wrong. Wrong, I tell you!
But it wasn't until a few months later, I was lugging around a 600 paged hardcover book around in my bag that I started to reconsider a Kindle, which would weigh...much, much less. Don't get me wrong, I had no regrets about carrying such a monstrosity of a book in my bag. I would gladly take everything out just so that I could put that one book in. Of course, my mom would never let that happen, so I'd have to carry it in my hands...or stuff it in my jacket...but...wouldn't that be silly...this large bulge in my shirt...ha.

More Reviews!
Oooooooooooooooooooh...kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay............so....uh....I...I've, uh....been thinking...
Remember that post? This one right here: No More Reviews!?
Well, you can probably predict the direction of this post now, right?
Just in case you're either 1) too lazy to click on the above mentioned post, or 2) *insert excuse of your choice here*, I will sum up the post: No one reads my reviews, they skip over them, so there is no point in posting something that no one will appreciate. So, I decided to stop posting them...until my indecisive mind tells me otherwise.
Well this is my indecisive mind telling me otherwise.
Allow my mind to explain itself. Take it away, Mind.

No More Reviews!
Ok, so maybe the title may have been slightly misleading, BUT, something IS changing. Allow me to explicate...
As you all know, I write reviews for books, and sometimes I'm even lucky enough to receive free copies of books from publishers and authors in exchange for a review. I've always been insecure about my reviews, and I still am, but I'm working on it, ok?
From my experience, most people who read this blog aren't bookworms, which is sad...
No matter, but when someone tells me they hardly read, well, that's just shocking. Heh, their lost.

Reading Buddies :) ----> :( ----> D :
On Tuesday 21st, 2015, I went to my first session of Reading Buddies, and actually read to a "little buddy". I was a bit nervous, but I made it through.
When I first got there at 3:45, I spent 15 min, anxiously waiting for the kids to arrive. Wouldn't it have been extremely awkward if you had a group of teens, sanding there, waiting for kids who never came? Yes, it would.
