So, it’s time to rebrand…
Starting in 2014, I’ll be using this blog to rant about
something else, something that I’m more passionate about – even more than
hockey – and that is books!
Since as long as I can remember I’ve always had the reading
bug, but that sort of stopped back in 2011 when I was going through some issues. The summer of 2012 though I got
back into reading with a bang! I sat down at my computer and created a
spreadsheet that contained all the books that I wanted to read. It started as a
five page document, that eventually grew into a 19 page document.
Thankfully, though, the Reading List is now down to 14 pages
and I’m making a New Year’s Challenge – not a Resolution those are just so lame
– to read 200 books. The difference though between this year’s challenge and
next year’s challenge – other than the 25 books – is the fact that instead of
just giving them stars on GoodReads, I’m going to try to write reviews for
those books and post them here.
But…what makes me different than those other book blogs?
Well, to be honest? Nothing really. But I’m going to try to
be different by adding a category to my review criteria. Most reviewers
obviously base their review on criteria such as plot, character development,
grammar and so forth, but I’m going to also add in Bookshelf Room criteria.
What’s a Bookshelf Room criteria?
Honestly, it’s something I just made up, but I’ve had this
problem and I’m sure a lot of other readers have had it to, where you really
like a series, you want to buy the series but you just don’t know if it’s worth
it. Especially if you have limited bookshelves like I do.
Anyway, that’s my plan. I hope I actually stick to it,
unlike the last time.
