I know it’s a little late to talk about New Year’s resolutions, but I wanted to touch on one goal I was proud to meet in 2017. I strongly believe in the necessity to perpetually educate–to feed one’s mind in a variety of ways, whether inside or outside of a classroom. I primarily do this by reading–horror and sci-fi, mostly. I wanted to read a book a month in 2017, but I ended up reading 18! Below are the books–most interesting was definitely the “Silo Series.” Looking to hit at least 20 this year.

On September 29th, I was finally able to cross an item off my bucket list: to see Stephen King in person. The obvious rival to this would be to meet him or get an autograph, but hey–he’s a famous author, and you just can’t do that stuff anymore. He and his son, Owen, were doing a book tour in support of their recent release, Sleeping Beauties. It was amazing to be able to hear him discuss his writing process, how he and his son built off one another for this collaborative work and even his candid take on politics…
Below is the only photo I was able to take. A great experience.

One of my goals for 2014 is to read more. While 2013 was a great year with 21 books read, I’m hoping to beat that this year.
I started the year off with Stephen King’s “Under the Dome,” and while it took me a few months to read it (the book was too physically heavy to carry on the train with me every day, so I stuck to weekends), this one was well worth it. It was 1,088 pages of a fantastic story–the novel focuses less on science fiction and more of the horror of the human condition. Hiiiighly recommended.
