lol-I still only got that one book read. So much for reading those 100 page ones I had so I’d have a higher book count. Oh well. I got hooked on The House on Tradd Street and I’m going right back to it after I log out for the night. It’s creepy and good! Just perfect for me and my attention span.

Other Things Taking up my Time:

• those cheetos!!!
• a scary movie on tv…
• trying to ignore my snoring puppy who is cozily curled up on his pillow making me wish I was the same – lol

What’s next:

I’m logging off for the night just in case I fall asleep but have no fear – I’m still reading. I’ll probably make it at least another couple of hours. It’s midnight here now and I’m feeling pretty good. I imagine I’ll come pretty close to finishing The House on Tradd Street anyway.

Hope everyone is still doing well. I apologize for not doing a whole lot of blog hopping but for some reason I just couldn’t coordinate it all today. Maybe next time around I’ll just be a cheerleader so I can visit. Night everyone!

Yikes, not doing so well, am I? Well I can’t seem to stay focused although The House on Tradd Street is really good. That’s what I’m reading right now and will probably go back to it after I post this. At this point Buddy and I are laying in bed keeping warm -he’s sleeping and I’m reading and listening to the tv with one ear.

Other Things Taking up my Time:

• my daydreaming

What’s next:

I’m going to continue on with The House on Tradd Street for a while yet. I need to know what’s going on behind the story. I’m currently munching on a mint aero bar and a big bag of cheetos is staring me in the face. Very, very bad eating habits this evening. Anyhow, I’ll be back around midnight if I’m still awake.

How’s everyone else doing? Having fun reading or cheerleading?

LOL-Do you notice a bit of a pattern with books about houses? It gave me a chuckle when I noticed that. Well all of these books are good so I may just work my way through the three of them tonight. I haven’t visited any blogs because I’m tired and now kind of struggling to read. I’m hoping to wake up a bit.

Other Things Taking up my Time:

• Finally had that shower.
• Played with the dog a while.
• Just stuck some chicken fingers in the oven.

What’s next:

Having some dinner once the pasta is cooked and reading…might need a nap…

Trish, no migraine this time! Yahooooooooooo!

I’ve been poking around at this and that so I really haven’t read a thing but I’m going to. Here’s a peek at my stack of books that I won’t finish but that’s ok. The next pic is where Buddy and I have spent our morning and will probably spend the afternoon as well. Please don’t pay attention to the mess but I wanted to make sure everything I might want was around me so I wouldn’t have to keep getting up. lol. Once I get supper together Buddy and I will be heading to the basement. It’s much easier for me to read down there – no distractions.

Other Things Taking up my Time:

• Got some lunch – mozza sticks (yummy), broccoli and an apple. Yes I know, very strange combination.
• More tea.
• Buddy has been good except for yowling at the neighbor’s dogs in the front yard. He’s getting fidgety though.

What’s next:

Still haven’t made it to the shower. It always amazes me how fast a few hours goes and nothing gets done. So, to the shower I go and then I will be relaxing in front of the window to hopefully do some serious reading. I’m still reading House of Reckoning though-it’s good and I don’t want to put it down yet.

What I’m Reading: Finished The Frozen Thames by Helen Humphreys

Pages Read: 152

Pages Read Total: 219

Books Finished: 1

The Frozen Thames is a small book of short stories which is why it was very easy to read 150 pages worth in a little over an hour. The book is ok, not my favorite by any means though. I’ve liked other books of hers much more.

Other Things Taking up My Time:

• Nothing really.
• Made another cup of tea.
• Took the dog out and it’s really cold and windy.

What Next:

I’m going to go visit some blogs now. Then feed the dog and take a shower. I doubt too much reading will happen in the next couple of hours but that’s ok. Next to read is maybe Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris. I need something to amuse me after The Frozen Thames which was quite dark in some stories.

Well I had a nice and comfy time reading in bed this morning. The Reckoning is quite good! However I did doze a bit so I didn’t read as much as I would have if I had just stayed awake! Here are my stats so far:

Reading: House of Reckoning by John Saul Pages Read: 35

Reading: The Frozen Thames by Helen Humphreys Pages Read: 32

Pages Read Total: 67

I’m not sure if I’ll finish House of Reckoning or start something else and The Frozen Thames I may put down -it’s short stories which is good but not all the stories are great. Aaack! I don’t know. We’ll see. I have this whole bag of books beside me so it’s decisions, decisions and I’m never very good at making up my mind. For now I’m going back to House of Reckoning.

Other Things Taking up my Time:

• The dog!
• Switching to tea…
• Lazing around (yaaaaaaaay!) and doing nothing but reading (well except for that little guy Buddy who seems to feel that today is a good day to drive me nuts).
• Breakfast – Toast (with way too much butter).

What next:

So, nothing fancy. Just what I’m reading and how many pages. I’ll have another update in hours 3&4 and maybe some pictures of some sort. I’m still on my old computer so I can’t do a video like I had hoped. Guess that’ll be next time around. Right now I’m off to pop into a few blogs and see how my reading pals are doing.
