So, the last few days have been very busy, hobby-wise, and not with the hobby you THINK I’m going to talk about!
I don’t know what made me want to, but I started picking up books that I was in the middle of and finishing them.
I finished Strangers in Death by JD Robb, finally. I remember starting it off really quickly, but then things happened and I just never got around to it again. Well, I finished what was left of it on my breaks and at work during the day. After Strangers in Death, I picked up 7th Heaven
by James Patterson & Maxine Paetro.
I was much further into this book than I thought I was, and honestly, I was sort of disappointed in it. The story lines just seemed to both come from outerspace, and the link between them was weak. It’s probably my least favorite of the Women’s Murder Club series.
After I finished that book, I decided to pick up Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. A bunch of my friends have said very good things about the book, and I do like vampire love stories, so I’m surprised it took me as long as it did to actually get into it. I read the book in about 2 days between reading at work and at home. I don’t have the next books in the series, so I’m having to appease myself with A Stroke of Midnight
by Laurel K Hamilton. It’s the 4th book in the Merry Gentry series.
I am itching to start a few new books, but I can’t until I buy them. lol. I’m really wanting to start The Hollow by Nora Roberts. It’s the 2nd book in the Sign of Seven trilogy. Every time I see it at the store, I want to pick it up, but I’m trying to be good and read some books that have been collecting dust on my bookshelf! I also really want to start the next book in the Twilight series, New Moon.
It’s been fun, finding my old favorite hobby again. I’ve missed it, and I didn’t realize how much until I found it again.
What are you reading right now?

Your blog!
hahahahhahahahaha (Can you tell it is almost 1am?)
I am too lazy to stand up and look at the title/author but I am reading one about a guy who’s daughter was killed and he teams up with an author to try to find the murderer. It is really a lot more interesting than I make it sound. I should finish it tomorrow and then Rockabye by Rebecca Wolfe is next. I am excited to read that one!!!!

You definitely have to get new moon and eclipse! I read new moon and eclipse faster than I read twilight. New moon was probably my fave, I had it read the fastest =).

You’ll have to tell me what you thought of the latest Gentry book once you’ve finished it, because it took me FOREVER to get into it. For some reason it just seemed to move so slowly for me. And once it started to get into things - it just kind of ended. Drove me nuts… lol. Mostly because I’m so used to gobbling LKH’s books up, so I wasn’t used to having to force myself to read it.
I hope you enjoyed Twilight! I know I’ve been gushing about it, so I’m all excited when I hear someone else has read it. Although somehow I feel like I’ve obsessed over it more than most would. I’m addictive like that… lol.
I now need a new book, though!! I don’t think I’m going to be able to wait for the new Stephenie Meyer or LKH books. Hmph.
