Reading Anything?

Do you like to read? At all? Even sometimes just because the mood hits you, or do you always have a book or two going? Because I do and I am always wondering what everyone else is reading, do they like it, do they hate it, is it a book you will always love? I was part of a small, and I mean very small, book club for a little while and it was so fun! But then it just kind of dwindled away and is now a thing of the past. But then I found goodreads and it has quenched my thirst to discuss books and what I should read next, a little. It works sort of like Facebook where you can search for people and invite them to be your friend. And yes, I know that I am pretty much non-existent on the Facebook front, but I do actually log into my GoodReads account regularly. Should I just delete my profile on Facebook??? Well that's a discussion for another time I suppose. So after you create your own account you can add all the books you have already read to your profile and give them a rating and review, you can add the book(s) you are currently reading, and keep track of the ones you want to read in the future. Kinda cool right? Or maybe you are thinking I am just a big nerd. Anyway. . . will you be my friend? On goodreads? I really, really want to see what you are reading and if you like it or not.

Movies for the Invalid

First of all, I can't believe today is July 1st! Second of all, I can't believe it's been so long since I've posted anything! Life has been a whirlwind lately. If I could only tell you the half of it! But really, we've just been busy with things in life. Brad had a birthday, we had an anniversary, we've visited with family and friends, I've been to Girl's Camp, and now my life is being ruled by the flu. I am so sick! And have been since last Friday night, although symptoms had started a day before that. I literally cannot pull myself up from the couch for longer than a few minutes for I feel like I might die. I cannot remember the last time I was this sick. Maybe when I was a kid? But not for a long time. I don't know how I would survive without Brad getting me anything and everything I need. I am hoping today is the last day and that my energy will come back soon. Oh please energy, come back!!!

So I have never watched this many movies in this short a time span either. I am currently more grateful for a TV and DVD player than ever. And all I've wanted to watch are anything Jane Austen and English time period dramas. Sounds like fun huh? Well it does to me! And guess what, my husband actually likes them too. He sits next to me and laughs at all the dry little one liners and gets very concerned when the heroine might not get happiness after all. I have covered Sense and Sensibility, Mansfield Park, Northanger Abbey, Pride and Prejudice, An Ideal Husband, this lovely little BBC miniseries called Cranford, and still have a list to go. Don't be alarmed if I come back to the land of the living with an accent of the British variety. One of my favorites is Pride and Prejudice. Always reminds me of this post I read on cjane forever ago. I concur.
