I had a feeling you'd have read this one! :)

Oh, I started out doing SO well though! Now I just read a chapter or two at night & thats about it. At least I've always got something on the go. I've been trying to get through a Dean Kootz book for over a month though! Everything else I end up picking up always takes priority over it cause its just NOT my thing at all. :(

Which Koontz book? His stuff is always touch and go, I find. But based on your past reads, he IS not your thing at all. I'd just leave it and carry on.

I recently bought SIX books and I haven't touched any of 'em! Oy vey. Maybe I should spend Monday reading, eh?

Its called "The Taking" & its horrible!!! My friend Nancy loves him & I found one brand new in a thrift shop for practically nothing, so I bought it & started it that day in the car. I'm almost done, so I'm finishing. Its just such a pointless book & I care nothing about what is going on. Hahah.

Which books did you get?! Or maybe I'll wait & see as you read them! Get reading!!!
