I can never remember to stop at the actual hours and post, I tend to just stop whenever I feel like it. I’ve just read Wishful Drinking by Carrie Fisher for a change from fiction. It was okay and relatively interesting, but I can tell just reading it that it would work much better as stand-up comedy. Still, it only took me an hour.

Right now there’s a panty-worthy mini-challenge going on, hosted by Rebecca at The Book Lady’s Blog, who is definitely doing her part to make reading sexy! This one’s easy for me as I’ve had the same panty-worthy author since age 14 or so. Stephen King. He’s a bit, um, old for me, but I have loved his books for most of my life and I’m regularly impressed by the stuff he continues to put out. When he’s good, he’s really, really good. I just ignore the ones that aren’t good!
In the interest of equal opportunities, I would also quite happily choose Juliet Marillier, Jacqueline Carey, or Robin Hobb.
I can’t believe I’ve been reading so long already! I think I’ve given up on my goal to continue reading Germinal in between. Maybe later. Right now, though, I’m heading for Archangel’s Kiss by Nalini Singh, which oh-so-conveniently arrived in the mail yesterday (or maybe the day before – I’m getting bad at entering books into LibraryThing when they show up!).
Oh, and I also wanted to liven up this post with a picture. So here’s the new fish we got this morning before all the reading fun started. We wanted a big fish for the tank and since I can’t have a cat in this apartment, I got to choose:
Four books finished??!! Way to go! That is very impressive.
And that fish is very cute.
Happy Read-a-Thoning!

I find watching fish very relaxing. You’re doing great – keep it up!
I love that you picked Stephen King! I think, with his personality, he would not only understand the pantyworthy thing but would totally appreciate it. Thanks for participating in the challenge. Hope your reading is going well!

You’re making me want to get fish again. Which would be a bad idea, given that I’m moving in three weeks, but… yeah.
In a Story Book
At night when sunshine goes away,
And it’s too dark for me to play,
I like to come inside, and look
For new friends in a story book.
