1949 pgs 94 to go

I just finished Jennifer Crusie's Anyone but You. This is the second book of hers I have read the first one was Bet Me which I found funny too. I think thats what I enjoy about her books it's not the woman has been kidnapped I must save her or anything heavy hearted it's just fun. She's easy to read and her characters all have interesting traits. I love Fred by far he was my favorite character and I laughed so many times picturing Shaggy our old family dog because he had a lot of the same attitude and well he was the most physically fit and he loved his Mcdonalds Happy meals I kid you not my mother bought him Happy meals, if we went out to eat and he didn't get anything when we got him he would literally pout. On a side note it's 6 am again but this time I have had 2 24 oz monsters OH YEAH I am about to go get my third so there is a good chance I may finish another book today lol. My husband on the other hand is like Oh God she's reading again and I say MUHAHAHA yes dear I am... But he's supportive and buys me more books when I go through the hundreds I have and say I have nothing to read. lol It's kind of like looking at all your clothes and deciding meh nothing good here. so the next book is a toss up between Stray, Lunatic Cafe, or The Good House. Decisions decisions.. Werecat, Necromancer, or something supposedly scary about demonic forces...

1666 Pages 95 books to go

So.. I just finished Sue Grafton's A is for Alibi. The characters where enjoyable I just have one thing to say about the main character maybe she needs rehab she seems to drink a lot. There was a cute supporting cast the only thing that irked me was when describing the fat woman and later on her mother as being even fatter. Was that really needed? This is my first go with an all out mystery book and I must say it was very predictable. I'll give you a hint they talk about it in the scream movies... lol I 'm a nerd but it's ok. On a side note I had a good morning I haven't been to bed yet and it's 9:30 am go me maybe I will finally stay up and sleep at night like a normal person. I doubt it but one can hope. Oh but as to my morning I made husband a yummy breakfast and finished the book i started yesterday oh yeah such an exciting life whatever will I do with myself... As for my next book I am still undecided. I have some books I need to read for this book list I am doing but I think I want a break maybe something fun just for me who knows!

1346 pages 96 books to go

Well I finished Darkfall. It was interesting. I didn't find it scary some of it was spooky I admit and I was also listening to it in the middle of the night which did not help one bit considering most of the book is about creatures in the night. These little "goblins" that a voodoo priest has summoned to kill off a cop's kids because since the cop is a righteous man he cannot be touched by the bad guy. good guy wins demons go away the end. lol It was good and spooky but altogether slow I haven't decided how I feel yet. Mainly I read it for my mom she loves Dean Koontz and Stephen King so I try to read some of their stuff so I can relate with her. Well for my next book I think I am aiming for A is for Alibi by Sue Grafton. I don't know much about it other than it's a series of books a-z lol Oh yeah I am super helpful. It'll be a surprise and who doesn't like surprises? ME! So should be fun if I don't decide to cheat and go look at the description... Anyways I am about to fall asleep at the keyboard yesterday I woke up with a horrible cold so I have been taking nothing but Nyquil and boy howdy does it make me sleepy!

962 pages 97 books to go

Well I just Finished J.D. Robb's Naked In Death
I am a fan of Nora Roberts and awe struck to think of how many books this woman has written. Now on to the book It was my first futuristic book and I can say I actually enjoyed it. Thank God since Dark prince nearly bored me to tears. Some parts of it were very emotional especially when we found out some of Eve's past. At least for me it was emotional for any woman to go through such things is heart wrenching but to over come it the way she did is inspiring. I did like it though and I will tell my friends all about it. Maybe probably not because I am the only person I know who will openly admit to reading romance novels lol. Well now its time for bed I haven't had much sleep lately and thats probably how I finished two 20 hour audio books in 2 days... Oh yeah I am a junky of the audio book. I love to read but sometimes its so hard when you have other things you need to do so I put on my head phones and get to work. Anyways I am still working on Jude Deveraux's latest novel it's good don't get me wrong I just got stuck. I think i had a little temper tantrum lately towards vampire romances and some romances that are I love you oh we're together oh no I don't wanna hurt you I must leave you now oh I love you please don't leave me again i will die with out you. My POV is YOU'RE MINE .. deal with it. I think my husband likes that too it seems to work for us at least. we've all had our ups and downs but as people in general are selfish when they love someone so much and there is danger you over come it together or you run away together. Anyways next I am gonna read Darkfall by Dean Koontz and hopefully finish off the last 100 pgs of Days of gold. So now I must go to bed it's 5 am and it's time for DH to go to work hopefully he'll have a good day. Oh on a side note I am very proud of my husband. He made a female soldier cry. I told him he's not allowed to like any woman who isn't blood related to him anyways so it doesn't matter but the whole thing was stupid she's alrdy had her husband yelling at him and then she went over his head (which in the army is a BIG no no) not just once but twice... and all bc she doesn't tell him what she needs so he talked to her about it in which she started crying I was like Jesus tell her to suck it up she's a friggin soldier! I am sorry but if I am going to be shot at I would think one stern talking to would be a piece of pie... Well I have pointlessly gone on and on so now BED!

642 Pages 98 books to go...

Again i read another vampire romance. It wasn't terrible I gave it 3/5 stars on goodreads but I think it would have gotten higher if I was not so tired of vampire romance. C'mon people enough of the necrophilia. Some books I still get a kick out of like the love at stake series, but that one is funny. I get so tired of he's dead i want to be with him forever... I did like one thing when she was talking about an attack she described the blood spraying, thats not something I usually hear in a romance novel so I thoroughly enjoyed it. But on the other hand I am not a huge fan of .... "love making" and when you get it in almost every chapter I start to feel it's less romance more ROmantica. Well Time to start or finish another book!

A challenge...

So I am going to start keeping track of what I read and how many pages I have read I am hoping that I can read 100 books in one year. starting now I am reading two books Days of Gold by Jude Deveraux and You suck, a love story by Christopher Moore. It should be a fun little challenge for me to do. I am doing things through goodreads.com they have a few book challenges I am participating in but I thought this could be my own personal challenge. Well wish me luck! lol

Reading..

Oh I just haven't felt great today or yesterday and I really don't feel like doing anything. LAZY I am going to clean but right now I am content sitting here listening to an audio book. Its "a movie in your mind" lol which means there is sound effects and multiple people acting the book out. It's neat. but now I need to go the new puppy has decided to leave me a ginormous mess to clean up and he keeps giving me dirty looks I think he tryin to tell me to get busy. Damn Dog!
