Accomplishment!!!

One of the main reasons why I have neglected my blog this past week is because I have been reading NONSTOP! I am in a bookclub and the book this month was "Memoirs of a Geisha". (actually, we got to choose between two... Wicked or Memoirs of a Geisha) I chose Memoirs for a few reasons:

1. I gave the book to my sister, Chelsea, for Christmas. She is not a reader at all and yet finished it in 3 days. It had to have been a good book

2. I lived in Japan when I was younger for 4 years

3. There was a movie made from the book, and I thought it would be interesting to read the book and then watch the movie, because I had never done that before.

So, I started the book over the weekend and although I had to work a lot this week, I read every free chance I got. I could NOT put it down! It is such a beautifully written book. And then, last night, I finished it. That is the first time I read a novel all the way through since high school! And it felt so good. Of course, this was one of the reasons I joined the book club in the first place, was to broaden my horizons and try new things... along with some other projects I have started and other 'groups' I have joined. I definitely want to read more books now.

Of course we are going to watch the movie ASAP!!!
