Reading Series I Missed

There are so many series in the world that we'll never be able to get to. So many books that we won't make time for, or we'll just never know about, and it got me thinking. I've read some of the big hard hitting children's books that are out there (Harry Potter, Percy Jackson) but I haven't read them all. I've not read The Northern Lights, I haven't read Eragon, A Series of Unfortunate Events, and many more that I haven't listed, and it got me thinking, I really want to read some series that I haven't read before.

So I want to try it. I want to pick up one of the books I've never read and try it out, give an opinion on it. So, I'm going to try it.

So, I am going to be trying one series per month, and trying the first book from that series. If I like it, I will continue, and if I don't, I'll move onto another one. I have some pretty high hopes for this because you hear a lot of good things about these books. And here's the thing, if I don't like the book, then that's fine too! I'm not doing this for anything serious or to hate on these, books I'm just going into them to see.

I already have a few ideas of books I'd like to read, so here's a small list.

Eragon by Christopher Paolini
A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket
The Northern Lights by Philip Pullman
Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer

I'm going to start with the A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket, because I already have that book in my possession so it's just an easy one to begin with, but I'd love to hear which ones you think I should read next!

And that's it for now. But, if you have any ideas please let me know, I'm very excited to see if I like them or if I'm just not the right age for them and other things. So hit me up with ideas and hopefully this goes well!

Mental Health - Three books I read when I need help

I think it's safe to say, mental health is something a lot of people deal with, whether it's fleeting or it's constant, it's something we all find difficulty with. My mental health was in a very bad place last year, and luckily I've been able to (mostly) claw myself out of some serious trouble. Having said that, some days I get a little overwhelmed, and my mental state plummets. Today it happened, and without going into details, I started to stress and think that everything was getting worse and worse. It wasn't, of course, but you still can't help but feel as though it's the end of the world when you're in that type of mood. So instead of basking in it and spiralling more, I thought I'd do a blog post about three books that I've found either help me when I'm feeling like I'm in a bad way, make me forget for an hour or so when I start reading, or just understand what I'm going through without me having to realise? I'm ...

A thought on book blogs...

There are many times that I've tried to sit down and start a book blog. This is my fourth or fifth attempt. And each and every time I do, I fail miserably because I don't have the time or the energy to keep it up, or I haven't been reading enough to warrant it, or I don't read the right books...which I know is ridiculous because we can read whatever we want...but I guess I'm just hesitant that people will judge me. Anyway, I end up saying that I'm going to write more and I end up just failing. With this in mind, a friend of mine does a book blog and for the past few months has been telling me that I should get to writing one and that because I read so much it should be something I love. And I've honestly wanted to get back into it. So, because it is my birthday tomorrow I decided to try it out again, do at least two posts a week for the next year and see how it goes. I'm not putting pressure on myself, I'm not trying to get myself to stress abou...
