What's In A Name 4--Travel or Movement

I decided to read Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Verne for this category. I have never read the unabridged version so I was looking forward to this. One of my favorite books of all time is 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. I remember sneaking in the closet in the middle of the night when I was little to read it after I was supposed to be in bed. I had read several abridged versions of Journey so I was excited to read the full edition on my Nook. This was a great book! It is very adventoruous and I love how crazy the uncle is and how the nephew & guide follow him to the center of the earth. One of my favorite parts is when they get caught up in the underground ocean and don't even know where they are. Verne wrote so vividly that at times I felt like I was really right there with them. This was a great read!

2011 E-Book Challenge

I finished my first e book of 2011. Well technically it was my 2nd but the other one I started in 2010 so it didn't count for the challenge. I am going to try to just do one post for all my ebooks so it might look funky as when I update the date doesn't change.

I started reading The Hunger Games books after seeing so many tweets about how good they were. I was sucked in quickly. I started reading the first one on my new Nook Color Christmas Day. They were such a novel concept and I really enjoyed every moment reading them. They are definitely hard to put down. I started Mockingjay on New Year's Day and read it until I decided to be polite and watch a movie with my husband. I had to get up at 6 am to work this morning and I couldn't wait to get home and read. As soon as I got home I settled down with my Nook and plunged back into Katniss' world. This time I really couldn't put it down( although I did take a break when my sister came to visit me). I was happy with the ending although was very saddened on certain parts(no spoiler alerts:-) I was really sad when I realized it was the final book in the series because I hadn't known that. That is the drawback of a Nook book. There wasn't a big Final book notice on it like the real book. However I loved reading it on my Nook, which I love. For so long I fought the idea of an e reader because I love real books. But I have to admit the e reader is very handy and easy to read. I don't enjoy reading the left side of the page anyway! Anyway so my first e book of 2011 was a winner. Wonder what will be next?

Well I have been so busy with school and photography that I have been bad about writing in this blog. I have been reading though. A lot! I can't remember the exact dates of when I read these books but these are the ebooks I have read since Janaury until today. I will try to write my thoughts about these books some time! I just wanted to write them down before I forgot. Since I have already surpassed my goal of 12 books read I have decided to change my level to possessed and attempt to read 50 ebooks before the end of the year.
