What I've Read - An Update

Well, well, well. I’m back. It’s been AWHILE. Just because I’m not blogging doesn’t mean I’m not reading. I’ve decided to try to get back to blogging on a more regular basis. Because there is no way I can blog in detail about the books I’ve read over the past three months, I’m just going to name them and start anew with my latest read.
 
What I’ve read since my last blog post (March 2013):
 
     #4 Playing the Enemy


     #5, 6, 7 American Vampire Volumes 123


     #8 Bridge to Terabithia


     #9 33 Snowfish


     #10 The Stranger


     #11 Down and Out in Paris and London


     #12 Train Dreams


     #13 The Shipping News


     #14 The Little Prince


     #15 Loving Frank


     #16 Shopgirl
I’m currently reading Perfume: A Tale of a Murderer. Thirty-six pages in and so far it’s good. Looking forward to finishing and blogging. 
 
Be writing soon!

Sigh...

As everyone knows, yesterday was the Fourth of July.  I woke up on the early side and did what I haven't been able to do in almost a year...  read a book, for pleasure, for over two hours.  SIGH....  It felt so amazing to just lounge on the chaise and read, read, read.  I missed it.  I wanted to cry.  In fact, I did have a few tears in my eyes.  

I haven't been able to concentrate on a book since I started down my library science path.  I've been reading the same Neil Gaiman book for about a year (American Gods, if you're interested).  I'm looking forward to having some free time.  I'm looking forward to reading.  I'm seriously interested in finding new authors.  I have a habit of finding a book I love and reading everything by that author in succession.   

If anyone has any suggestions, I'm open to them.  In five weeks, I'll have all the time in the world :)  I also would love to follow some reputable blogs that review books.  Again, suggestions are welcome.
