Introduction

Let me start off by saying hello.I am new to this but wanted to give it a try.So I do a reading challenge every year.This year I pledged to read 75 books by the end of December.I love reading but I am also a huge movie fan.I have quite a collection of movies.I have been collecting since I was about 12.I started to look at my collection and wonder how many movies I have seen that were adapted from books.I decided I was going to make a list of a few books that I need to read.Let me tell you I have a huge list! I never imagined how many movies I had saw and never even thought about the books. So here I am now trying to knock books off my list.The list ranges from popular children's books to almost anything you can think of.I will be reviewing both the book and the movie.Wish me luck!
