I told my mother and a few of my friends that I was going to start a blog. You would have thought I told them that I was going to drop out of college and start my own rock band. Firstly, my mother thinks a “blog” is a chat room full of techno-teens. Secondly, my friends really don’t get the blogging thing. I’m pretty sure that the whole “blogging” idea hasn’t hit the Midwest yet… that or it completely flew over the Ohio youth.
Let me be the first to welcome you to what I hope to be a very delightful new blogging experience. I’ve never done this before, so I’m going to be learning just as much as you are (Hopefully)!
Now before I delve into things, let me tell you exactly what I’m planning on doing. I plan on doing a book review blog! And before you run away screaming, thinking “Oh no, another basic and boring book review… no way!” just hear me out. I’m not going to bore you with ridiculous character plots of riveting novels or anything like that. Why would I ruin a book for you?? I’m going to be doing something completely different.
I plan on only reading and reviewing How-To and self improvement books. Yup, I said it: How-To books. I’ve always been the type who adores improving herself, and “be the best you can be” is a motto that I take a tad too seriously sometimes. I have spent many evenings curled up with a good book (how-to’s are BY FAR my favorite kind), and now I’m actually putting everything I’m learning into good use! You’d be amazed not only at how much you learn from these books (duh.. they are called how-to for a reason!!), but also how much even one of them can change you and your life.
Here’s how it’s going to work: Each week I’m going to read some kind of How-To/Self Improvement book and I will document my experiences in a bi-weekly article. (I had originally planned for this to be a weekly thing, but I have come to find that the things that happen while I read these books call for a few more than that!) The main point of these books is also to teach you something, right? I told you this would be a book review blog… and that’s exactly what I’m going to do! I’ll tell you whether or not to even waste your time with this book, and who I think would appeal to most. I wouldn’t want you to waste your time reading something, supposedly for your benefit, if it’s not worth it!!
Whether it’s going to be about career advice, how to find your right mate, how to tell your future, how to build a birdhouse, or even how to live on mars… I want you to know what it’s all about! Hopefully through my successes, improvements, or even failures, you can learn something too!
I am on my way on a journey of self discovery and better understanding of who I am and what I’m capable of. Maybe the tools I’m using could be ones that can help you too!
Hope you enjoy!
