Book Haul (1) 7 books
Technically it's 4 books and 3 ebooks, but I now have 7 books I have to read next. I heard a lot of reviews on these books and am extremely excited to read these. Since I am new to reviewing books, my reviews might not be all what you want, but it's a work in progress. I am hoping I might be able to kind of do an outline kind of review, but I haven't thought much on it.

Reading and Depression
I started reading the Baby Sitter's Little Sister when I was seven, and after that, I grew hungry for more. I remember I was the only kid happy because a Goosebumps book was dropped in my trick or treat bag on the following Halloween. Eager to support this, my mom signed me up with the Baby Sitter's Club and I would read through the series with abnormal speed. After that I sought books in the school library. I never let genre get in my way when I was on a mission. As I grew, and when times would get hard, my first reaction was to dive head first into a book.

2012 already?! Update 1/13/12
Okay, as with every holiday, I disappeared. Don't get angry, I truly was busy. (And if I wasn't, I was sleeping, so sue me!) This January marked a full year living at our new home as well as a year as Kennel Manager for me. I am in love with working with these animals, and they take up a lot of my time during my working hours. Rob turns 21 on the 15, and Vince turns 27 on the 14th. This month also marks the 6 month anniversary to my boyfriend Vince. I am allowed to be excited about this because it marks the halfway to a year! And that is incredible for me, as my two longest relationships are to Pattie (15 yrs as friends) and to Rob (5 yrs). So I am a little geeked.
I decided to challenge myself to reading 50 books this year. My progress is being marked on goodreads. I don't know if I will have the time (willpower) to sit down and type out reviews for each book (for the one's I don't like). I will also try to post progress on my story, as I have started working on that much more in the passed weeks. Of course I won't be giving out anything about my actual story as then it might ruin the read in the long run.
Right now a snow storm is hitting us. Pretty hard actually. Thankfully Rob salted.
I can't think of anything else, so I am going to skip out. I will try to keep up with reviews with books that I read so others can see. Also, I am putting my "year and a day" on hold. Obviously since I haven't made any posts about it right? No, I am putting it on hold because I am not feeling that flow right now. The best way to explain it is that I feel like I too am trapped in ice and snow like the Earth. Instead of trying to force myself to try to do something that I won't enjoy because I have to force myself to do it, I am just going to slow down and flow with the natural energy of life.
Okay, now I'm going. Will try to have a review of The Sight up by the end of the week.
