SP Reads. A lot.

One of my “goals” this year, is to read more. Read like actual books. Not so much my online celebrity gossip nonsense and my “how to run faster” Runner’s World obsession, but, like books with lots of pages and plot lines and everything. I know, really ambitious.

I go through periods where I read a ton, and then I can go like a year and not read a novel. This is no bueno.

Especially since it’s said that to be a writer, you must also read. Welp, once upon a time, 500 million years ago, I went through a life crisis and decided “must document this in written form because I might be creative, but, I cannot make this shiz up” and, someday, someday, I hope that I will find that little piece of my life bound forever in the shelves of Barnes and Noble. I mean, a girls gotta have goals, right?

Anyways. I’m either read a lot, or, just read Allure Magazine and eat Bon Bons.

Currently, we’re in the “I read everything I can get my mitts on”.

As we know, I devoured Water for Elephants in ONE DAY and en route to St. Louis in January, I finished Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah—like, it took me two sittings to read it. TWO. I never do this.

I recently also read Flying Changes by Sara Gruen and was bummed because I didn’t know it was a sequel to Riding Lessons and I would have read that one first! I finished that book in about two days. Loved it. I love her style of writing.

So, when the husband/puppies gifted me an iPad over the weekend (I KNOW!) my first order of business, after downloading the Sons of Anarchy and Royal Wedding aps respectively (I bet that’s an ap that Clarence House never thought they’d be in the same sentence with), I loaded up my iTunes account and went in search for a book.

Enter, True Colors by Kristin Hannah.

And then continue with me staying up until 2AM because I could not stop reading the damn thing, ugly cry and all and oh my gosh I was so sucked it and it was so good and I want to read it all over again. I read it in one day. And it's not a short book.

So, to summarize: I’m really tired, I really like Kristin Hannah’s books and, the iPad is going to be the demise of me ever sleeping again EVER. But, I can watch the Royal Wedding and get a Jax Teller fix, so, there's that.

Pass the Diet Coke.
