ShouldBe Reading.

To play along, answer the following three questions:

What are you currently reading?

What did you recently finish reading?
What do you think you’ll read next?

What are you currently reading?

I just started, so I have no comments as of yet.


What did you recently finish reading?

All right, so this was not the most upbeat book ever. However, it is nice to read another person’s perspective when it comes to facing life’s challenges, misfortunes, and losses. Elizabeth Edwards definitely made valid points, and I do think this is a good book for those faced with a crisis.

Hmmm. I can’t exactly put my finger on why I could not become engrossed in this book. I think I simply did not find the characters all that interesting and relatable. But that is only my opinion. I know there are many readers out there who are big Sookie Stackhouse fans.

And is it just me, or did this book bear striking similarities to Twilight? Is Stephenie Meyer a Charlaine Harris fan?

What do you think you’ll read next?

I’m putting this one back at the top of the TBR list.

Six Things I Did...(On Labor Day)

Happy Labor Day everyone! Despite the fact it’s a U.S. holiday, I am still working. But that’s okay.

1. Surgery Prep. The littlest and I will leave for Denver this next Sunday. I am trying to get myself physically and mentally prepared for his surgery and in-patient status. Must admit, I am quite nervous. Things did not go well last time he had surgery in 2007.
2. Transferred Fish. My oldest son and I had some mishaps this past week with his aquarium and aquarium animals. Three of them died L The only one that survived was the betta that was in the vase. We think we have the aquarium in good working order now, so we transferred the betta back to it (it was once exclusively his home before the others came and went).
3. Read. When I am under stress, I often hunker down and read. Right now, I am well into Charlaine Harris’s Dead Until Dark.
4. Visited blogs. I am participating in Rachael Harrie’s Third Platform-Building Campaign. More about it here. It is fun to meet new bloggers who write the same genres I do.
5. Discussed 9/11 with the Oldest. We read a kid-section of the newspaper together this morning. At first, he was stressed about the whole thing (as the subject is new to him). But after reading and discussing, he is much better now.
6. Thought about Writing. Hard to actually do it with a house full of people (no school/no work). But who knows…anything is possible. Right?
