Another Book

I bought Tessa Adams debut book "Dark Embers" today. Really excited about it but am going to try and read some other books before I move to this one, since it is so new. Wish me luck on my control, I have it sitting on the table next to me. Its just looking at me saying, 'why are you not reading me?' Its very distracting.

More Books and Reading Update

I was very bad today, as most people know me I can only go so long with out purchasing a new book, and yes not just last week I purchased one book. Well I wanted to go to half price and I got a couple more. And I started a new trend at work. From now on I am going to try and read more YA and IR books on my lunch break that way I can have more knowledge for my new position at being the "Kids Expert." So I am adding to the list yet more books to read.

Wish me luck, I don't think I will ever complete this list if it just keeps growing. Especially since I did not add all the books that should of been on the original list that I will either read by chance or force. But if I do read them I will just tag them at the bottom of list, can't do much more than that. Except maybe stop buying books, but I don't think that will happen anytime soon.

Books not on the reading list

This is where I am going to let you know about all the books that are not on my reading that I happen to read. What that translate to is, the books I buy that I can't seem to help myself about. Also ebooks. These are the books that jump the list for some unknown reason my normal brain as a function does not know why.

Books Bought
Mating Games - Dana Marie Bell
