I don't go to the movie theater often, typically once a year, and I saw Anchorman on New Year's Day. I thought I would be good until 2015 but then I saw this list......
"16 Books to Read Before They Hit Theaters This Year"
So many good books and hopefully so many good movies, Gone Girl, Dark Places, Serena, Unbroken, Wild.......
I have a few on the list I want to read before they come out, The Monuments Men, which could be one of the three history books I pledged to read this year, and Labor Day top the list.
How many of these books have you read and which movies are you most looking forward to?

2014 New Year's Book Resolutions
2014 - how did that happen so fast! A new year and a new age, not only do I celebrate the start of 2014 but I also celebrate my birthday, 34 - how did that come so quickly! I was looking at holiday cards at my moms house over the weekend and remarked how fast peoples kids were growing up, seemingly over night they went from 3 to 13, and I feel like I haven't aged. And on a non-related book New Years resolution, I have declared this is the year I must start coloring my hair to cover my grays. It's funny though, I only seem to notice them in the bathroom mirror at work!! So tomorrow, new hair color!
And now on to my five New Year's Book Resolutions.....
1. I pledged to read 40 books on Good Reads, I read 34 in 2013, I think I can hit 40!
2. Read more history books. Not historical fiction but actual history books, this may slow me down in my book challenge but I pledge to read 3 actual history books!
3. Read Anna Karenina, it has been on my Kindle for a year plus I need to get this read!
4. 2014 is the year of the horse according to the Chinese calendar, so obviously I need to read some horsey books. Maybe I should read a book while hanging out with my horse.....
"Hey, read me a bed time story!"
5. Explore other genres, I read a lot of contemporary fiction and I need to branch out, excited to see what I come up with!!
Here is hoping for a productive happy 2014! What are your New Year's Book resolutions?
