It's been about 2 weeks since I posted anything - sorry 'bout that - but I have just been so busy lately. I've been a cleaning fiend, inspection by landlord, and between that, and the absolutely icy winds that have been howling in from the west, it's just been a really crappy time to read. Now I know it should be the best weather for snuggling up in a blanket on the couch to read... however, when there is no heating in your home it's not really conducive for reading for any length of time. So instead I have been bundled up in my quilted jacket, under some blankets, and watching old TV series that I like. Yes, I'm under a blanket, but at least my hands/arms aren't out in the cold holding a book!
I'm hoping that this is either my last winter in this unit, or perhaps in this town (?), as although I do love the cool weather - I really do need either a warmer climate, or a place that has heating. I'd even settle for a place that's draft proof. But until then I've been re-reading some old favourites during the odd times that I've felt like reading. I'm hoping to snap myself out of this little slump. It's been so annoying. I was so looking forward to Siren's Call by Jayne Castle to be released, but when I finally got a copy I read it and blah! I've really enjoyed all the books in this futuristic paranormal romance, and yet this didn't do anything for me. I'm hoping that it's just a result of being in a reading funk - and not that the book might be wishy-washy.
Oy, now I'm feeling blue. Off to make some brownies I think. Need a little chocolate-y goodness to cheer me up ;-D
Hope that your reading this month has been more productive than mine.
Until next time,
