Let's Take A Moment & Talk About Books, Shall We?

Let's take a break from our regularly scheduled beauty programming to talk about books. One of my goals for 2014 (the word "resolution" has such a negative connotation to it, dontcha think?) is to read more. I've always been a huge reader. While other kids were were playing games of "who can break a limb first?" and flirting on the monkey bars, I was on a bench outside with my head stuck in a book.

Since you probably don't care about my fond childhood memories of reading, I'm just going to cut to the chase: I rarely have the time to sit down and read a good book. Towards the end of last year, I began making it my mission to read whenever I could. I extended that goal into 2014, and am determined to read at least two books per month, which pales in comparison to what I would read back in high school. I know a lot of you have goals to read more, so I have included some of my personal favorites, along with a compilation of books I would like to read.
