Reading

I love to read, probably everyone knows that.  Last week, one of my fellow WriMos revealed that she had read 38 books last year and I got to wondering...just how many books to I read in a year?

I know that since Jay gave me Eloise, I read more than I did in the past.

So I started a new page to list the books I'm reading, just to keep track.  If you want to see what I'm reading or how it's going, just click the page button at the top of the page.  I know a lot of people are on Goodreads (so am I, but under the real me, not the GunDiva me), but I thought listing my books here would be easiest.

On my Books page, I'll include either a link to the book or the author's website.  You can reasonably assume that any book I post on the page is an ebook, unless otherwise noted.

Since this is the last week of Christmas break, I've been reading up a storm. Like a crazy amount of reading. That's about to come to an abrupt halt tomorrow when I return to work. I will have to read a textbook as I re-do our curricula, so that will cut into my fun reading a bit.

I'll also note if I don't finish a book.  I find that as I get older, I have less tolerance for books I don't enjoy.  Sometimes I'm just not in the right mindset for that specific genre, sometimes I wonder how the hell a book ever got published, and in the case of some self-pubbed books, I'm certain that some authors' mommies and daddies went way overboard heaping praise on their precious little ones' lack of writing abilities.

What are you guys reading?  Have any suggestions?  I've got a fourteen-hour car ride coming up next week and will want Eloise fully loaded before the trip.

I haven't been reading anything lately, but travel season starts up again this week. So, I need to find something. Too bad Larry Corriea hasn't put anything out recently. I'm caught up on all his stuff.

Don't you hate it when you get all caught up on an author's work and have to wait for the next release?
