Playing Catch Up!

A quick Amazon Search can give you all the review details you need on these books I have read since September.  Sadly, there are not as many as there should be.  I am at 35 books for the year and with a goal of 52, I do not think I will reach the finish line.  Seventeen books to read before December 31st just seems unattainable.

This has been a helluva year.  I am looking forward to the next two months flying by and starting fresh in 2014.  Will I ever reach my goal to read 100 books in one year?  Will I ever be able to focus long enough to complete all the projects I want to get done?  I have been Bob Ross method painting, I worked a TON of overtime the end of the summer, I have a container full of baby alpaca yarn waiting to be knitted up for gifts and some days I am so overwhelmed by my life I can only close my eyes at the end of the day and be happy I made it through another 24 hours. Someday's I wonder if i actually made it or just winged the whole day.

Anyhow, there is where I am.  I hate to think any year of my life is a waste, but really - I accomplished nothing this year but a very real nervous breakdown and learning to better fake it till I make it.


31.  Lost & Found In Cedar Cove by Debbie Macomber
          A quick short story that did not focus to heavily on the Cedar Cove usual's.

32.  Rose Harbor In Bloom by Debbie Macomber
          A good continuation of the Inn At Rose Harbor Series.  I love the Cedar Cove characters.

33.  Red Sparrow by Jason Matthews
          Acquiring this book was pretty funny.  I heard him give an interview on NPR and in a Benadryl hazeI ended up falling asleep thinking I needed to buy the book.  I had a dream that night that I could not get the book to open on my kindle.  The next afternoon I went onto Amazon to buy the book only to realize I had already purchased it... In the middle of the night!!!! It was a good book that focused a good bit on forbidden love - two people who should not, for various reasons, want to be involvedwith each other but end up in a passionate relationship.  Plus I love a good CIA story. I hope this turns into a series or trilogy or something.  I have not found anything on it yet though.

34.  Blue By You by Rachel Gibson
          Crap.  Sorry - but its true.

35.  The Heavens Rise by Christopher Rice
          It was not his usual plot line - and I was so skeptical because I am not into supernatural but it was good.  I can say for sure supernatural is not my cup of tea but I can always appreciate a well written novel.  This is no different. I recommend for anyone who is unsure of Supernatural - its not SO out there that you cant follow along.  Its a good dip your toe in for a newb.

I have a couple books queued up in my Kindle and a 2 hour flight home to Miami from Atlantic City on Monday so here is hope i can five my hands a rest from knitting/crocheting/painting for the next two months and pick up my nook and dive in.  I still have  a ton of old books I have yet to start and new ones rolling out all the time I keep forgetting to add to my wishlist.
