Reading List

So I love to read. I have always loved to read...well as long as it wasn't a book for school anyway. I read mostly fiction. I am a huge fan of Jane Green, Nicholas Sparks, Sophie Kinsella, Stephanie Meyer and many more. Once I start reading a book, I can't put it down and this often makes Scott aggravated. It gets pretty bad over Christmas break when I am off work for two weeks and have nothing better to do. I keep a list of books I want to read in an excel spreadsheet, which is no surprise due to my love of excel spreadsheets (but that's a whole other story). I have turned to the library to help fund my reading habit as it can get pretty expensive after a while. It has also caused me to read even more books, which as previously stated gets under Scott's skin after a while. So when I decided it was time to read the Bible in a year back in January, I also decided it would have to be time to take a break from my fiction books. I figured that if I would be more likely to fail at reading the Bible in a year if I was always tempted with another book laying around that I had gotten caught up with. I think I have actually only read one book other than my Bible this year, but that doesn't stop my reading list from growing.

One of my co-workers knows my love for the Twilight Saga and gave me "Dead Until Dark" for my birthday. I believe it is the 1st of the series of vampire books that True Blood is based off of. I have never seen True Blood as I am too much of a tight wad to pay for HBO, but I hear it is great.

My sister-in-law gave me 2 books for my birthday. This is our usual gift to one another since we both like to read and she said she only read one of the books this time before giving it to me. I can't blame her. I started the trend when I bought a book for her birthday while in Las Vegas a few years ago and read it on the plane ride home. Then leaving it wrapped up in the Mandalay Bay Bookstore bag, gave it to her for her birthday. I can't remember exactly how she found out I had read it, but needless to say it started a trend.

Lauren also brought 2 more books this past weekend. One was the book I gave her for her birthday last year. I bought it just before her birthday or I would have read it. The other was a book I gave her for Christmas a few years ago...Eat, Pray, Love. At the time, I didn't think I'd ever want to read it, but now that the movie is coming out, I thought I would read it before I eventually watch the movie on DVD. We don't go to the movies much...why when u can rent it for $1 a night on DVD.

Happy Reading! I have made it to November 11th on my journey of reading the Bible in a year! Not much longer to go!
