Films, books, TV shows...I've always got an opinion. It's probably quite annoying for everyone else who just wants to enjoy them.

Sophie's Super Summer Read-a-palooza
So I have officially finished university (yes, yes, about time...) and have enjoyed three weeks of doing absolutely bloody nothing. Turns out that three weeks is just about all I can take of lying on the sofa and staring with dead eyes at facebook for hours on end. My brain has finally recovered and has been starting to crave something a little more than 'shared' photos from 'lol cats' and the like. So when a friend showed up at my house the other night with a big pile of books that she had brought from home and offered me one I resolved to set myself a little summer challenge. With what seems like very little hope of being offered my dream job anytime soon, on top of not yet knowing my degree classification and hence whether I have been accepted onto my Masters course, life seemed pretty bleak and pointless. The weather has been echoing how I feel and being unable to even sit outside and pretend it's summer due to the torrential downpours we have had in Leeds of late I decided to set myself the task of reading 30 books before the end of September. The requisites being they must be fiction and written in the 21st century. I will obviously try to read more if I hit the 30 before the deadline and will also be writing up a little review of each of the books and posting on this blog. I'm always preaching about how important reading is so if I could inspire at least a couple of people to a) read my blog and b) read even one of the books, I will be very happy and content and smiley. So if anyone is actually reading this then I hope you enjoy this and find a little summer reading for yourself! :)
