Almost a New Year...

It's been 199 days since I moved to New York to try my hand in the world of books and as I look ahead into the new year I started to think of where I've been for this one.  I find it amusing, looking at myself a few months ago when I graduated from college all bright-eyed and peppy, rarin to go and thinking I was the bomb diggity.  Well I've been taken down a few pegs since then, been a freelancer for a few months, an intern twice, and have sent out so many resumes I've filled up my Sent Mailbox four times.

It's been a interesting road so far and one of the main things that have gotten me through it are the books.  The books that get me through the subways, through the lunch breaks, through the interviews and the phone calls and the networking.  Because it's the books that remind me oh so much why I want to work in the field that creates them.

This is my journey and the books I read along the way.
