Fate has given my “Wheel of Hobbies” a spin again, and this time the arrow points to reading. As a result, the apartment is again littered with piles of books everywhere I can sit.
In my purse: Laurell K Hamilton’s “Guilty Pleasures.” This is first in her “Anita Blake vampire hunter” series. Finishing the Twilight series and getting hooked on True Blood has sucked (bwah!) me back into the vampire genre.
On my desk: Hamilton’s “The Laughing Corpse” - book 2 for when I finish book 1. Also, Anne Lamott’s “Bird by Bird” which I hope will give me some insight on writing. I love to write. Always have.
By my bed: “The Long Tail” which is quite interesting, especially the parts on how bloggers are the mainstream media’s biggest competition.
In the bathroom: “My Day, Vol 1″ which is a compilation of Eleanor Roosevelt’s daily newspaper columns. By the way, Eleanor Roosevelt is my hero. And “No Plot? No Problem!” by Chris Baty. NaNoWriMo’s next month, you know. And I might give it a shot. That is, if I can fit it onto the already-crowded “Wheel of Hobbies.”
What are you reading this month?

Hi there. Interesting books you are reading. I’ve just finished a book by Val Macdermot called ‘Wire in the Blood’. Excellent and scary all at the same time. Now I’m reading the next in the series called ‘Mermaid Singing’ which is quite stomach turning but I can’t seem to put the book down. I am still a huge Janet Evanovich fan and have ordered book 14 from my local library but the librarian always reads my books first……grrrrrrr! Clearly she has good taste.

“Keeping Faith” by Jodi Picoult and “To the Power of Three” by Laura Lippman

Hello there!
Thanks for some book ideas
I just finished ‘The Pemberly Chronicles’ by Rebecca Ann Collins (what it sounds like, a continuation of Pride and Prejudice) Next up is the second in that series. If the library has it. If not I will just have to force myself to look around. I recently read ‘The Other Boleyn Girl’ which I enjoyed even though it is not dead on historically accurate. Maybe something else by Phillipa Gregory….who knows!
So, does anyone have some favorites that they like to reread every year or couple of years? Or a favorite go to author?
(Vanessa, I am with you, Stephanie Plum is just a fun read!)
