I read that. I remember it was written from the hero’s point of view. I really liked the first half, but the second half seemed like it was all over the place. Lottery winner, mob guys, shapeshifters … too much stuff going on for my tastes.

And yes, I’ve added it to my All My Books software 🙂

Yeah, you’ve officially turned into a mom. But that’s so great that you’re reading to her. :bubbles:

Chasity — 200 books so far this year? Holy cow! I’m in awe. I’m just hoping to hit 50 this year. :surprise:

I’ve got all my books read listed in a database on my computer. Not very exciting but it’s the easiest way I’ve figured out to keep up with it. I have one for movies watched too but I’ve woefully neglected it.

I don’t know what I would do if I didn’t have piles of books or many e-books to read. I’d probably be a bigger gaming geek than I am now.

I just counted and so far for the year, I’ve read right at 200 books. (That total does include a few from the end of December that were early January releases.) I’ve become anal retentive about keeping a notebook of all the books I read. (With a few notes attached.)

The smart bitches had a link to a software program called All My Books. Which I downloaded. I’m hoping to get started with keeping my books on there, instead of paper form.

Every few years, I’ll grab one of those just for nostalgia’s sake. Sadly enough, I’ve just been reading her from Jennifer Weiner’s new book. Hey, I figure she doesn’t know what I’m saying. She just wants to hear my voice. And I get to whittle my TBR pile down by another book.

What’s really funny? Even though I know she doesn’t understand, I still find myself skipping the bad words and sex parts. :biggrin:

The little one is great…will be sending pictures soon!

When she gets older, you’ll have to add Beverly Cleary to your TBR pile.

Edie — Because I have no life. And I’m addicted to books and TV. 😎

I’d say reading is a necessity too. Gotta read.

I also read instead of watching TV, but that is mainly because Alex watches more soccer than is really healthy. However, the munchkin is severely cutting into my reading time. (My TBR pile now contains Beatrix Potter and A.A. Milne instead of Jennifer Weiner and Stephen King.)

Tia — I try to read at least a chapter a day of whatever I’m reading at the moment. But I’ve been slacking off lately. Sigh.

I couldn’t give up TV though. Too many great shows on. And I think TV is helpful too. Lets you see how other writers handle story arcs and have characters change and grow.
