BEFORE MY BLOG: Books

    Hello fellows!
 
     Due to my stupidity, I started this book blog a month after New Year's. So, that means the books I've read since the beginning of the year won't be as fresh on my mind as the books I've been reading this week. Forgive me if some points of information are wrong on these reviews because I have short term memory when it comes to books. My only solution for this problem was to write down quotes and thoughts on some aspects of the book so I don't forget them.

     Now, I have two ways in resolving this dilemma:
  1. Writing down the information I wish to remember later or
  2. Making a review on the book on this blog
     YAY! More options = more ways to celebrate books.
    
     The more the merrier, right?

     Back onto the initial idea of this post, I will (however) be reviewing the books I've read before the start of this blog. These books won't be as descriptive because it's been a while since I've read them. Although, they will appear onto this blog over time (when I have the time). As a student, I am very busy with homework and tests. Therefore my reviews will be published a little after I finish the book. But don't fret, I will report to you guys when my next review will be up and what book it is exactly.

     In conclusion (wow, I sound like I'm writing an essay), my reviews for the books I've read before the birth of this account will show up after a while but will be guaranteed to be here. I haven't necessarily reviewed the books here but if you would like, here are the books I've finished in January:
