2015 Pop Sugar Reading Challenge Progress

Hello Everyone. Hope everyone is having a great week so far. I know here in Canada we're starting to prepare for Thanksgiving, which is always one of my favorite holidays as fall is my favorite season. This year my family has special plans for it, which I will be sharing here later on, but for today's post I'm going to talk about my progress so far with 2015 Pop Sugar Reading Challenge :) To anyone who is unfamiliar with this particular challenge, here is the link to the original page http://www.popsugar.com/love/Reading-Challenge-2015-36071458 Basically, it's a reading challenge that includes fifty items on a list you need to complete by reading a book that fits with each item. I only discovered the challenge in May, and as such, am not sure if I will be finished by December 31st, but I'm really enjoying being a part of it, And I've loved how it's opened the door for me to books I may never have chosen to read without it, that I've ended up loving.

Anna and the French Kiss :)

It seems only fitting that my first post for my bookish blog be a review on my favorite book of all time: Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins :) Description from Goodreads :" Anna is looking forward to her senior year in Atlanta, where she has a great job, a loyal best friend, and a crush on the verge of becoming more. Which is why she is less than thrilled about being shipped off to boarding school in Paris--until she meets Étienne St. Clair. Smart, charming,  beautiful , Étienne has it all...including a serious girlfriend. " But in the City of Light, wishes have a way of coming true. Will a year of romantic near-misses end with their long-awaited French kiss? Last January, I had the misfortune of developing an awful respiratory infection that required me to stay indoors out of the cold, and miss quite a bit of work. I burned through many, many books during those days, and had just finished Dreamland  by Sarah Dessen and Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead,
