Sheila over at Book Journey is hosting this wonderful "First Book of the Year" party that I have decided to participate in. I am so very glad I stumbled upon this little corner of the internet! I'm not even really sure if I truly ever really thought about which book should be my first read of the new year, but thanks to this event I really took the time to think about it this year. I just know that this is going to be a fun way to kick off my reading year. I also can't wait to see what books everyone else picked! Without further ado...
My First Book of the Year: 2016
You may be a little shocked to learn that my first book of 2016 isn't going to be a young adult novel. Don't worry, I still plan to read mostly YA books this year. I actually decided to choose a book that has been on my TBR pile for a while that I have been in the mood to read lately but just haven't actually gotten around to doing so yet. That is how I ended up picking The Song of Achilles. I have even seen a lot of bloggers reading and loving this book recently. This just makes me want to read The Song of Achilles even more.
