Resolutions are made to be broken, right? Right!
And I resolved to blog reliably, and I haven't, (unless once a month is reliable, hmm, no that's stooping pretty low even for me) but resolutions are made to be broken... you see where I'm going with this right?
Ok, so I'm going to cut to the chase and get all Nike on you, and JUST DO IT....here goes....
I have started haunting Borders, I don't buy any-thing, I just hide in the kids section and read. So far this has worked out fine because my local Borders is pretty big so its easy to slip under the radar. Unlike my local indie book store, which is tiny, stuffed with weird and wonderful books, full of personality and.....tiny.(as in they know when I slip out the door, no purchase in hand, after reading in the corner for an hour.) And I feel guilty not buying their books cause y'know, they're indie, and you gotta support the indies... but Borders on the other hand, well, no qualms there.
So like I said I am haunting the place. I sit in the kids section with a two foot high stack of books and I read them all. Cause I can't afford to buy all those books. And some of them, frankly, I wouldn't want to.
And now,(finally!) we reach the point of this whole long involved story, tonight I am going to Borders and here I share my To Read List:
But Who Will Bell the Cats- forgotten the authors name...
A Book- Amy Krouse Rosenthal
Around the World with Mouk- Marc Boutavant
Egg Drop- Mini Grey
and in the YA catagory:
Wildwood Dancing- Juliet Marillier
Marcelo in the Real World- Francisco X Stork
Eon Dragoneye Reborn- Allison Goodman
The Ask and the Answer- Patrick Ness
Unfortunately I can't read all the YA's on my list while I'm at Borders, but I can go and drool over them and sigh over them... yep, that's my plan. I may, repeat may, buy ONE. ONE only. If I can choose one.
Right, so its January 23rd already is it?
