I recently readmacfan77.blogspot.com concerning a Book Challenge.

50 books in a year?!?

I commented with *shaking my head* because seriously...I read or can read 50 books in a few months or less. In a year..I probably read at least 300 books...

In school I used to get into trouble because I'd read ahead. I'd be caught reading my library books or even my Moms romances.

I read and understand and can tell you what's happening.

Recently I found book by Cornelia Funke in the Youth section of Chapters. Inkheart. Yes, I was in the Youth Section. *shrug* What can I say. Anyways...the cover looked really cool and I picked it up and read a few pages ...I read the back of the book:

Meggie lives a quiet life alone with her father, a bookbinder. But her father has a deep secret -- he possesses an extraordinary magical power. One cruel night, as Meggie's father reads a book called Inkheart aloud, an evil ruler named Capricorn escapes the boundaries of fiction and lands in their living room. Suddenly, the two are plunged into the kind of adventure Meggie has only encountered in fiction, and they must somehow learn to harness the magic they were reading about to change the course of the story -- before it ruins their lives forever.

I knew that I would be using my gift certificates to purchase this book. It looks great! MyLuc came with me and now hasn't stopped withthe "you should be reading books your age" comments. The comments don't bother me as much as he thinks though...I read everything and anything.

So...I went to the bookstore in our Mall and found the 2nd book. Picked it up without a thought...knowing that I'd not be able to read it until I had the first. Yup...tortured myself. I order the 1st on and they told me it'd be a week or so until it came in. They called, I went in and it was a teeny tiny paperback. Now normally that wouldn't have bothered me but I had purchased the 2nd on in Hardcover so I really really wanted hardcover. I ordered again and they said 2 weeks...they'll call. *sigh*

I went to the bookstore downstairs at work and found Canadian Author Kelly Armstrong. There were two books...I checked to make sure that they were #1 and #2 in a witch series..the title escapes me at the moment. I got up to the counter and they recommended I read first her first books Bitten and Stolen of the werewolfe series. *sigh* They weren't in. I thought I'd give it a chance with the two I had. They rocked!

I went to the library to see if they had the first two. They did. Not too bad. I'd rather read about Vampires than Werewolves but not too bad.

So that's the mini version...I read a lot. I think I'm going to see if I can keep track. It'll be hard because I always have 2 books with me knowing I'll read at least one of them and have a backup.

How much do you read?

I clicked on "Next Blog" and found this...I apologize for not copying who I borrowed it from.

You Are a Freedom Rocker!

You're stuck in the 70s - for better or worse Crazy hair, pot soaked clothes, and tons of groupies Your kind showed the world how to rock Is that freedom rock?... Well turn it up man!

What Kind of Rocker Are You?

Can a person do "blonde" things for a whole month?

I did, for example:

I was in charge of bringing music into the office for the four people to listen to while we did clean up. I brought my discman, fresh batteries and the speakers....but no cd

MyLuc and I went to a dinner party at his boss' (?) home and when we were leaving about 5 hours later I couldn't find my shoes....it turns out I wore two different sneakers...really different not only a different colour but style

Made some comment to MyLuc and he replied with "Did you bang your head today?"...I proceeded to dent my forehad with the trunk door as soon as we got home

After getting rid of the crutches and trying to use a can, sat down in my computer chair.....I proceeded to roll over my ankle and get my foot stuck under my chair

(Speaking of, I did have xrays and turnd out I just had a severe sprain and I had spread the tendon over the bone when I fell...so, not too bad but still have to be very careful and no sprinting or chasing MyLuc or the cats)

Now those are just three examples that are first and foremost in my mind. I am so hoping that 2006 brings me health and smarts...cuz I found love, I'll one day lose the weight I want and o'course one day I'll learn to drive. But for now...health and smarts will do.

When reading posts on http://www.postsecret.blogspot.com/ I really understood that there are people out there just like me. Some who are so blue that sometimes they can only understand the darkness and are the little fish in the deep ocean with nothing to see around them but blue.
