July will be the first month in a while that I'll be able to read as much as I want and I'm very excited about that! My goal is to read 3 or 4 books this month (a lot of reviews!)
1. The Curious Incident of The Dog in The Night-time by Mark Haddon: I started it and it seems pretty interesting thus far. The main character has an offbeat attitude and it has my attention.
2. Currawong Creek by Jennifer Scoullar: I also started this one and I it cut to the action right away. It's a bit weird for me to read a book that doesn't build up to the action, but it's a nice change of pace. I like it thus far.
3. Milltown by Jimmy Higgins: I haven't started on this one yet, but the plot seems so good.
4. The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkein (I hope to get to this book): This has been on my reading list for a while now and I really want to start on it. Of course I hope to read the entire ser
I really like the selection of books I have so be on the lookout for reviews! Now one more thing: JulNoWriMo. It stands for July Novel Writing Month. The goal is to try to write 50,000 + words in the month of July. It's a fun challenge that is supposed to show you that you CAN write a novel. If you guys want to check it out you can go here: http://julnowrimo.com/index.php?page=about and find out more about it. It sounds like a lot of fun and you never know what you could end up with. I'll keep you guys posted on the progress in my Friday posts, I hope you guys join me! What books are you guys reading this month? Also, have any of you already started on JulNoWriMo? :)

Series That I Want to Read
I've realized that I don't read many series and also that there are a lot of series that I haven't finished. So I made a list of series that I want to read (they're in no particular order).
1. A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket.: I read one book and it wasn't even the first one in the series (this was in my young and foolish days), but I loved it and I want to read the entire series.
You guys are going to either gasp in disbelief or chastise me for this next one
2. Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling: Yes. I've never read any of the books. But I want to!
3. Percy Jackson and the Olympians series by Rick Riordan: I've heard a lot about this series and I like the plot so I look forward to reading the books.
4. Artemis Fowl series by Eoin Colfer: I read the first book years ago and I never knew there was a series (again, young and foolish). Obviously I need to get the other books.
5. Lord of The Rings series by J.R.R Tolkein: I've wanted to read this series since I was in middle school, but I just never did and I have no idea why.
6. The Uglies series by Scott Westerfeld: I actually read the first book in this series when I was in middle school and for some reason I just never got around to reading the other books.
Those are the series that I need to complete (or start). What series have you read? I would love to know and maybe I'll get them for myself. Till next time :)
