I'm doing 39 things
since the last i did read rare beasts as well as chosen but also
the secret lives of men & women, which only barely counts. it IS a book, but it’s one of those collections of post secrets. but it’s my list, and i say it counts. ;)
then i read the learners. very good book. not at all what i was expecting. pleasantly surprised. good story and very visually cool. definitely a book for graphic designers.
then i re-read the giver. (yes, i’ve decided to count books that i’ve read before… on that note i plan to re-read the harry potter books and you can be sure you’ll see them on my list.)
then i got through a version of the truth. pretty cute. no real major twists but a fun, light, easy read. and then most recently finished white panties, dead friends, and other bits and pieces about love (may not have got that last part exactly right, but you get the point) :) that was a collection of poems with a guy that has lived locally since 78 or 79 i think. it was cool to read about places here in town but overall… not exactly my style of poetry. so now i’m working on tattoo girl and still working on hocus pocus. i don’t know where i put it so it’s been out of sight and out of mind, but i need to finish it before i forget what’s happening. ;) so that’s it for now, that brings me to 16.

okay, so i actually made it to the gym 4 times this week but i’m not considering this “done” yet. we’ll see how i’m doing after a month… they say it takes 21 days to form a habit. but…. so far so good. i’m pleased. ;)
since i only recently decided to do this i’m giving myself a little slack for not yet being in the double digits. i’m sure i’ll make up for lost time.
so far this year:
1. twilight
2. new moon
3. eclipse
4. you guessed it… breaking dawn
*then i saw the movie ;)
5. confessions of a shopaholic
*then i saw the movie :D
6. why girls are weird (actually, this may have been book number one but i don’t feel like going back to re-write the numbers.
7. (this one is too embarrassing to have posted online, and considering that i just listed all four of the twilight books… you can imagine)
8. marked
9. betrayed (just finished this last night)
i’m currently reading hocus pocus, pushing up daises, and going to start the next house of night… i think it’s called chosen? oooo, and rare beasts. so, yes just wanted to announce that i’m making progress!!! ;) wish me luck!
