Read: 2010 style.



I'm all signed up and ready to read!

If you are interested in joining the fun, head over to J. Kaye's Book Blog to enlist.

I think I'll start the year with Donna Tarrt's THE LITTLE FRIEND. Next I plan to check out Barbara Kingsolver's much awaited THE LACUNA and Sue Miller's THE SENATOR'S WIFE.

What books are you guys excited to read in 2010?

Welcome to the 100+ Reading Challenge! I am thrilled you joined. 2010 is going to be such a fantastic year. I can just feel it!

Books I am looking forward to reading in 2010: [name of novel withheld] by Travener! Seriously, I don't look ahead. Rarely know ahead of time what I'm going to leave the library or B&N with.
I signed up for the 100 plus challenge on her site last year and failed miserably.. So I am not joining the challenge (when I join things I tend to fail at them, but when I don't i do well...) my goal is always a 100 but I don't beat myself up if it doesn't happen.. I can't wait to read my Jane Austen inspired books!

You're supposed to read more than 100 books?

No. I can't do that. I mean, I have my own book to write, promote and sell. Then there's a lot of Final Fantasy XII and Odin Sphere that aren't going to play themselves, you know.

fetal friday?

I know that I left everyone hanging yesterday. You know, when I went to pee on that stick. (That was mean of me. Not the peeing, but the leaving hanging.) Well, I think the big reveal is best expressed in letter form. Deep breath. Here goes. dear unborn baby daughter son or daughter, I take it back. I take back everything I said about not wanting kids. I was just scaredspice, and the slightest bit selfish, and maybe I had a giant fear of commitment. But, three positive test results in the last eighteen hours seem to say that you actually are in there, getting all comfy. I guess you'll probably be here in mid-December. I never thought about having a Christmas baby. (You've really put a wrench in my whole taking-maternity-leave-during-the-NCAA-tournament plan, but that's okay. At least it's basketball season. Don't tell Daddy yet, but you are going to cheer for the Indiana Hoosiers.) Speaking of Daddy, I take back all the mean things I've ever sa...

a little ashamed

I've been feeling a little guilty lately. I think I'm sort of obsessed with my own blog. Seriously, I adore coming home for lunch in the middle of my workday. My plan is always to sit down and write. It's the perfect time to work. There are no distractions (other than the hungry rumble in my tummy) or reasons that I shouldn't be able to churn out a good amount of words before I head back to the world of checking account deposits and cash-in tickets. However, I find that when I come home for lunch, all I want to do is blog. My reader is full as a good girl's Christmas stocking, and then there's my own post -- just waiting to be written. Something alarmingly witty, for sure. Something that will generate the multiple comments I will hungrily read from my cell phone when I sneak out for a cigarette break at 4:00. So, I avoid the writing -- you know, of the fiction variety. I sit here, instead watching the text fill the blank screen of a New Po...
