Read a Little or a Lot

I sat here doing one of those little things that one does while thinking at the helm of a keyboard... fingers in their proper place upon the keyboard I lightly strummed they keys as I thought. I bet it's annoying to others in the room. I don't care. It helps me think.

Typically when I blog I start with a title, which is probably ass backwards from the way most folks do it. I find that when I create a title it directs my thoughts and words flow accordingly. Today I flip-flopped and am trying the typing before titling. It feels a little odd. But I'm up to the challenge.

Things have been pretty mundane since I came out of the house last week. Pick up, deliver... repeat. Sleep and eat in between. Oh and Marge spent a night in the shop getting her PM oil change and some additional maintenance in there too. Yay, we have a jake and cruise control again. *happy dance*

I sat around most of the day yesterday in Bordentown, NJ at the Petro (which I loathe) after delivering a load in the morning over in Jamesburg. The down time allowed me to read a book cover to cover, however, which put my list to 8 out of my goal of 50 for the year. Man I'm slacking! I don't think I'm gonna make 50 books in 12 months, but it's possible if I read a little more frequently than I've been doing so far this year.

I've got 5 books already lined up for reading next. "The Lovely Bones" is next in line. I hope it's good. I really am itching to re-read the Twilight series, of course, because I'm a dork and I'm hooked on that teeny bopper vampire crap just like I have been since I was a teeny bopper crushing on Brad Pitt in "Interview with a Vampire". I've had a long torrid love affair with the bloodsuckers. :oP

Of course I loaned my sister the series, and she probably won't read them or if she does, probably won't appreciate them like I did. (no offence sis, but I just don't know if they're your bag, baby haha) So I can't read them again just yet. And since I've already read them this year I don't know if I could count them again towards my goal of 50. Or could I?

Hmm...

So anyway. I need some suggestions for more books. I've got a few in line and a few I've got in my cart on Amazon, but I need some fresh finds. Any suggestions?

I'm into horror, but please don't suggest Stephen King or Dean Koontz. I'm also into murder/medical mysteries, some fantasy/sci-fi, and the like. No romance, I get enough of that with Nora Roberts' novels. I don't like westerns but might find an interest in medieval sort of stuff.

So if you have any thoughts on which way I should go next, lemme know. Oh and I fully intend to read the Harry Potter series this year, I already have the first book in hand and will be buying the rest soon.

Well anywho. I've got laundry cooking in the dryer and dinner in my belly. I had considered watching Coraline, which I just bought last night, but figured I'd wait until I had more time. I have to be in bed in a little over an hour so I can meet a 3 am wake up requirement. Tomorrow is bound to be a long day.

Back over to Jersey for an 8 am live unload then who knows what. I hope back into PA and not into the north east! ha! Wishful thinking.
