999 update...

There is no way I'd finish this challenege by the 9th... and I don't see it happening by the end of the year. Ha ha. But I really don't care. I'm just reading to read.

challenge update, catagory change

My aunt likes to loan me books... and she just loaned me most of an entire series. I'll fill the gaps by checking them out via the library. Anyway, because of this... I'm changing one of my challenge catagories. I'm still reading just to read, and writing it down as if I'm still doing the challenge... but I'm not really. My interest isn't really in it anymore. Plus, to add to the lack of interest, I have a new puppy. Reading doesn't happen much, lately. Anyway, here is the most recent update of my reading list.

- Vampires
1- Fangs For The Memories - Kathy Love (7/81)
2- Fangs But No Fangs - Kathy Love (8/81)

no interest

I've been stuck on my challenge book 12 for quite a while now. I can't get myself sucked in. I can't keep my interest in it, and therefore I have no desire to really pick up the book. It's a classic and everyone seems to enjoy it. It's not a bad book at all... I just can't get into it. I'm not sure why. I want to finish it... so I'm still trying. As for the challenge... I'll still go along as if I'm reading for the challenge. Number my books and such. But I highly doubt I'll hit half of the books for the challenege. I think I like the idea of reading because I want to better than doing it for a "fun challenege." If that makes sense at all. I'm just not going to push myself. It's supposed to be for fun, and I'm not really finding interest lately... so I'm not going to worry about it. I'm planning a 50th birthday party for my mom. Her birthday is next Sunday. I think making sure things get done for the party is more important than trying to get a bunch of books read for a challenege. And anyway, Mandy averaged it out... you have 4.5 days to read each book. I've been known to read books in 2 days or even in one day... but that's if I did nothing but read. I don't want to spend my whole year just reading and sleeping.

Anyway, I'm distracted and can't keep a straight thought to be able to write more... so I'm done for now.

PS- Jelly, welcome to blogger.

book 11

I'd just started my 11th book for the challenege when the pain was too much to deal with. I couldn't focus and then after a couple days went to the ER. I have TMJ Syndome or TMD. It's no fun and I'm not going to ramble on about what it is in here. I still haven't gone farther into the book because now that I know what's wrong, I'm on vicodin. I'm sleeping most of the time now since going to the ER. I've only got a couple pills left so I'm trying to avoid taking any unless the pain kicks up too high. I'm gonna try in a little while to read again. Hopefully I can concentrate cause it's book 3 from a series I've enjoyed so far and I want to enjoy it as well. Blah

Midnight Bayou

I hadn't finished reading Midnight Bayou when I couldn't take it anymore and started to watch the (Lifetime) movie on OnDemand. About a minute/minute and a half into the movie, it was already wayyy different than the book, so I stopped watching it. I finished the book last night and watched the movie today. I know they change a lot when they turn a book into a movie but I was really disappointed with HOW MUCH they changed. I think next time, I'll watch the movies first, then read the book. It's harder to be let down by the movie that way.

blogger beginning

I've had many an online diary. I have two others at the moment. One I use regularly, and one I use mostly when the first isn't working. I created this blog mostly to be a part of The 999 Challenge... but this site seems ineresting, so perhaps I'll actually write something from time to time. Then again, perhaps not. Oh well. I'm here, that's the point. Hi.
