Sooo....I'm realising that this blogging thing might turn out to be harder than I thought. But I will continue trying, and if you have any tips for improvements, please leave them in the comments.
A film I have been looking forward to a very long time came out on Christmas day: The Chronicles of Narnia - The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. I went to see it yesterday, and I liked it very much. Plenty of action and suspense, and quite fast-paced. They kept and evolved the important themes, but they left out possibly my favourite scene in the whole series. That was kind of a let down, but I understand why they did it. All in all, a good adaptation of my favourite book in The Chronicles of Narnia. I definitely recommend seeing it.
The end of another year is right around the corner now. Many people use the time now to reflect upon the past year and make plans for the coming one. I wonder why they are called resolutions. I just think it is a strange word. All the same, I have made some as well. My plan is to read at least 30 books between this Christmas and Christmas 2011, and blog about them. I might as well start the second part, as I have already had a great start on the first. I have completed The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. It was full of fast-paced action and a bit scary. It is especially scary if you see all the connections to today's society, and think that similar things actually happen in the world these days. We follow a girl in the future North America who has to fight to the death against 23 other teenagers while everything is televised live in the whole country. It is a good story, and I recommend it if you want a read with a lot of suspense that you will read till 4 AM. It is not packed with literary gems, but it is fun and easy to read.
I hope I will complete the challenge I have set myself for 2011. I am looking forward to finding out of this new medium, and learning and reading a lot of new things. And, by the way, all the 30 books I will read in 2011 are books I have never read before. Happy New Year! May you reach all the goals you set for 2011 (if you dare to set any at all).
Since I am going to do this reading challenge, I think I will have a counting thing at the end of each blogpost from now on. So here it is:
Number of books read: 1
