Welcome to the Jungle

A rainy morning, a cup of coffee, and a book.  Could a Sunday morning be any better?  [Well, of course it could, but I would have needed a few items which weren't at hand, so we'll just say, "No."]  I scanned through Catching Fire racing through the words as Katniss must have raced through the jungle, skipping a few steps here and there, looking always for the shortest distance through the page.  I sighed when I reached the end and realized that I would have to start the next book as soon as possible.  Cliffhangers: the ever present danger of a trilogy.  So while 2012 hasn't yet emerged with classic reading, I'm having fun scanning through a few fun titles before schedules demand otherwise.

New Orleans
December 2011

The last day of the year was upon me before I knew it.  A leisurely stroll by the water reminded me I should log a few goals.  Hope your 2012 off to a smashing start.

Catching Shut-Eye

My mistake last night was in thinking I would arrive at a "good" place to stop reading.  An hour and a half later, I had to force myself to power off the Kindle so I could have some rest before early morning spin class.  The culprit?  Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins (book 2 of the Hunger Games trilogy).  Rest assured I will have my fair share of espresso today once the endorphins wear down.

In this reading quest, I am also trying out Amazon Prime and the Lending Library.  The upside to the service: streaming Dr. Who.  The downside:  one book borrow limit per month.  If anyone has an opinion on Prime, let me know.  I am on day two of the free trial.

One Two One Two

A New Year.  New Lists.  New Goals.  New reads...once I fully recover from the weekend.  

Hope your year is off to a stellar start.
