The first quarter of 2014 has been an interesting one. To recap (again): First there was the return from the epic holiday journey, the projects from heck at the Big J, 7 day a week schedules of about 60-80 hours, informing the Big J that I was leaving, leaving (FREEDOM!), starting the new job at the "little c", dealing with the learning curve, dealing with the weather, traveling AGAIN, the weather, the commute, and OH YEAH, trying to deal with the rest of my "stuff."
Apparently, I did try to use the other side of my brain and read, but only occasionally. Not nearly enough.
You know the other sad thing from this period?
And I am appalled to even type it?
I haven't been to a library - to check out books - since January.
JANUARY!
HOW? What? Sputter!
Read the above. Compute it.
Know that I have a backlog of titles on my bureau, shelves, and e-reader.
And not enough time - obviously - to even blog in a timely fashion.

You know the other sad thing from this period?

JANUARY!
HOW? What? Sputter!
Read the above. Compute it.
Know that I have a backlog of titles on my bureau, shelves, and e-reader.
And not enough time - obviously - to even blog in a timely fashion.
The usual caveat applies: If you are just finding the blog,
please note that this list was maintained mainly so that I could
remember what I've (NOT) read this year. The record does not fully represent
me or all of my interests, so don't judge my reading habits. My
interests change quite frequently. Also, as a general rule, I don't do
book recommendations or link to major retailers or publishers. Except
for the ARCs listed below [thanks major publishers!], most of these
books came from MY library or a public library.
January through March 2014 [The lack of titles here saddens me.]
True Love (A Nantucket Brides book) by Jude Deveraux
Big Girl Panties: A Novel by Stephanie Evanovich
The Midnight Witch by Paula Brackston (ARC)
Bellman & Black: A Ghost Story by Diane Setterfield (ARC)
some e-books I don't recall
