Happy new year to everyone and I am happy to say that my 50 books & 50 movies challenge has officially begun as of 1st January 2014. Throughout this blog I will be updating my progress of the challenge based on each piece of content I read/watch. Once I have read a book and/or watched a movie I will post a brief review on my thoughts and any recommendations.
My first movie of the challenge will be Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey which I am eager to see since I am a fan or the Lord of the Rings film and haven't got around to watching this prequel. For the movie challenge I plan to only see movies I have not see before, no repeats. The majority of movies I will watch will be through Netflix mainly since it will be cheaper and move convenient.
To start of the 50 books & 50 movies challenge, the first book I plan to read is The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change by Dr. Stephen R. Covey. A popular self-improvement book that would be an ideal place to start especially at the start of a new year.

Amazon Review
According to Steven R. Covey, to live with security and wisdom, and to have the power to take advantages of the opportunities that change creates, we need fairness, integrity, honesty and human dignity. Quite a tall order when you consider that most of us live our lives in a permanent state of flux, questioning our ideals and values and fighting a daily battle with the lack of self-confidence that stops us from taking risks of any kind. But, in The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, Covey manages to make it sound as if changing the way we look at ourselves and the world around us so that we can become more successful both personally and professionally an absolute doddle. He defines the "habits" as "the intersection of knowledge, skill and desire" and states that the "Seven Habits" of the title are not mutually exclusive, but rather when developed together help to form a well-rounded, sensitive, confident and effective human being.
My first movie of the challenge will be Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey which I am eager to see since I am a fan or the Lord of the Rings film and haven't got around to watching this prequel. For the movie challenge I plan to only see movies I have not see before, no repeats. The majority of movies I will watch will be through Netflix mainly since it will be cheaper and move convenient.
