Great Reading Challenge of 2020

Every year my local library hosts a Great Reading Challenge that lasts throughout the year. We are given a list of categories to attempt to fill plus bonus activities. To participate you must get at least 18 books read in a year. The highest level is over 100 or more books. My goal this year has been to hit the 100 mark. Thanks to COVID-19 I've already reached around 70 books read. One of the fun bonuses this year is called Reading Roulette. Every month the librarians will draw a random category and if you read a book that fits that criteria it will count as two books read. So far, my library has had:

January: Read a book that is shorter than 200 Pages
February: Read a Survival Story
March: Read a book written by an artist more famous for another medium
April: Read a book by an author who has published more than 20 books
May: Read a book with a weather related word in the title

It's a fun little twist on the categories and creates an extra little challenge. Sometimes, I can easily fit the book I'm reading into the category and other times (like this month) it will take a little more digging. I'll do some posts specially dedicated to the bonus challenges from past months just because I think they deserve just as much love as my future reads.

I have done monthly updates on my Facebook page for the reading challenge, but I realized I wanted to do more, hence this blog. All of my Facebook posts include a highlight of a book or two, but who cares on Facebook? If someone is dedicated in following what I read or in listening to my thoughts on books it would be easier to send them here. I'm still going to give updates because it helps keep me accountable, but I find I have a lot more to say dedicated to books and I want a separate area just for that. So, welcome to "The Book Nook" by CC-Liz!*

*For those of you who don't know me personally: CC-Liz was my radio call name in college and I've always loved it. I figured it could make a come back in my writing world as well. 😊

2020 Strikes Again

June/July has been an odd few months for me. Let's all just be honest 2020 is just a weird year. I fully intended to give a June recap, but then July hit. I lost two family members and one was young and very unexpected. It actually through me off the deep-end for a little bit. I believe in transparency regarding mental health and I was definitely up there quite a ways. You won't see anything from me this month most likely, but in the beginning of August I will post an update from the last two months! I will get back on track; I just need the time to myself first. You might even start to notice a trend in some of the books I'm reading now that I'm back to being a book nerd! Stay safe friends. Hug your loved ones and don't be afraid to reach out for help if you need it. This website has a host of different hotlines and resources if you ever find yourself in a place where you don't feel safe or you just need to chat with someone: https://www.nami.org/Support-Edu...

My Top Audiobook Narrators

Everyone has their own preferences and everyone looks for something a little different in what they read. Sometimes, I need a break from actually reading books; in these moments I turn to Audiobooks. Audiobooks have become my best friends during reading slumps, road trips, and even filing room work. There are days when I spend hours working in a filing room and more often than not, I have an Audiobook going to help keep me motivated! For example, yesterday I had an early morning road trip, so I decided to checkout a book from my local library (coincidentally that narrator will be on this list as well). 1.Tim Curry I first found a Tim Curry narration by complete accident. My Dad and I were road tripping to visit my sister who was living in Ohio at the time; it was a 12-hour drive for us. My Dad doesn't read anything besides car manuals and the occasional instruction guide. I picked up a light read series: "A Series of Unfortunate Events" by Lemony Snickett. At the time I w...

"Things We Didn't Talk About When I Was A Girl"

Jeannie Vanasco has created a work of genius with this memoir. "Things We Didn't Talk About When I Was a Girl" could be seen as a new direction for the #MeToo movement. Vanasco's memoir addresses her confusion regarding a sexual assault from high school by her best friend. Throughout the book it questions 'if good people can do bad things or if there are just bad people?' Vanasco went a step further than writing about her assault, she interviewed the man who raped her, whom she refers to as Mark in this book. The reader gets a full view of Jeannie's and Mark's interactions since Vanasco includes transcripts of their phone calls and the eventual visit. It is a harrowing and eye-opening experience. There is a real feel to the book that some sexual assault memoirs lack; it seems disjointed just because you get to see firsthand all of Vanasco's thoughts. Survivors will feel validated knowing they aren't alone with the way their brain can go after...
