Catching up on my reading...

So to catch you up on what has been going on in my reading life, I was held hostage by the confines of the snow, so I did get quite a bit of reading done. I am not quite doing 12 books a month, but I am making an all american effort. In my previous post I had given you the books I have read up to the 7th book of the year, I will continue my list from there. I would love to give ratings, but seriously, that takes time. You are welcome to check out my Goodreads account to really see what I've thought of each book. If you're a member, add me as a friend, we can love fashion, makeup, and books together :)

Open Book

So an update on my reading situation. I'm a lazy bum. I haven't really read much in like the last week. After I had such a great start to the year. I seem to be just slugging along. But I have read 7 books up until this point. Which is rather sad considering I am supposed to have 12 books for the month of  January. At this rate, I don't think I will make it unless magazines count (which they don't).

So here is an update on what I have read so far from my list on Goodreads:

1. Real Vampires Live Large by Gerry Bartlett (January 1, 2010)

2. Hot Tamara by Mary Castillo (January 5, 2010)

3. Real Vampires Get Lucky by Gerry Bartlett (January 6, 2010)

4. Lucky Chica: A Novel by Berta Platas (January 8, 2010)

5. Sex and the South Beach Chicas by Caridad Piñeiro (January 11, 2010)

6. Under Her Skin by Susan Mallery (January 12, 2010)
 
7. Bubbles Unbound by Sarah Strohmeyer (January 17, 2010)

Now I just have to get up enough... steam?... to continue my reading. I don't know what it is. Maybe if I spent less time on my darn makeup & more time on my reading. I would have read my 12 books by now. Well, wish me luck.

Reading in peace...

So, last year... I wasn't very good at updating my blog. I should be better about it because I do have alot to say and alot on my mind. But then when i sit down to write I just can't bring myself to get my thoughts onto "laptop".

So lately, my life has become me escaping into a world of books. I didn't blog about my desire to attempt to read 50 books for the year of 2009. But I did make my goal of 50 books and even surpassed it by reading 62 books for the entire year. I enjoyed making that goal and succeeding. This year my goal is to get to 75 books. Which is a realistic goal. But I joined this group (in part due to my friend Dawn) to see if I could come marginally close to hitting a goal of 144 books in one year. Which is broken down into 12 books each month.

As I really love to read and it has become the best part of each of my days. I love the time I can spend in another world that is wealthier, more fashionable, more dramatic, and generally more descriptive than my normal humdrum life. So hopefully. I will be able to at the least update my blog once a month to list the books I have raed for that individual month. Keep posted... and feel free to send me recommendations for books I should give a try. I don't really like anything too graphic. But I have will give any book a try... whether I finish... is another thing.
