Soooo, how bout them apples?

I know I've been slacking here recently, what with the new Kindle, the book I'm trying to write, etc. Here recently though I've stopped reading cold turkey! Blasphemous, you say? I know. It is. I'm finding it very difficult to follow and yet it's only been MAYBE 3 weeks at this point. I find myself almost drained, like I'm looking forward to the day I can pick up a book (or the Kindle) again and get going.

There's something about books, they suck you in and you get to live a new life for awhile. I think that's one of the best parts of reading.

Soooo, that being said, I wanted to let you all know that though I am busy with writing and the dreaded working of an actual job that does NOT include said writing, I will post reviews from any "past" books I've read. Believe me, there's plenty to go around. I may not have fresh fodder in the mix, but booo-oy you'll love some of the stuff I throw your way!

Depending on my mood, I might throw in a movie review or some other type of media into the mix. Few movies/ TV shows/ the like catch my attention, but when they do, I'm hooked.

Take Avatar for instance. Loved. It. Think: Motion-Picture-Orgasm. HA! That's not really as bad as it sounds. It's a whole new world. Wonderful wildlife. Plantlife. Everything is amazing. Even the cat-people, er the Na'vi are b-e-a-utiful! It's a book on crack! Well maybe not quite, but the experience reminded me so much of when I read, which is probably why I like to see it so much. It reminds me of my teenage Titanic days. I think I've lost count of the times I've actually seen it, and I'm not tired of it. After all these years, I'm still not tired of Titanic, but that's another story I'd rather not dive in to at the moment. The less y'all think I'm a freak, the better. *snickers* Maybe I'm a fan of James Cameron. Maybe it's just that he has a way of sucking you in to a new world (quite literally with Avatar) and truly captivating you. That's me. A Cameronite!

But let's get back to topic, shall we?

So please, stick around, I promise not to leave you hanging! Hopefully you'll find plenty of books from my blog that you'll be interested in reading. Feel free to make your own suggestions as well. I even welcome submitting your own book reviews to my blog! Send me an email if you're interested, or just leave a comment with a blip of your favorites!

Or if you feel like sending kind words of encouragement, that is ALWAYS welcome in my book... the figurative book, not the literal one I'm writing! HA! Almost walked into a trap on that one. Phew.

I look forward to hearing from you.
