library books, yay!

Just a short post to say: I picked up my library books today. :) Yayness. I'm going to read them in the following order: The Red Scarf (the cover just sweeps me away, I love it so much!), Chez Moi, How the Dead Dream, and The Labrador Pact.

I have to finish Highland Scandal first though. It's turning into one of those books that I'm scared to keep reading, because it looks like there's going to be some trouble starting within the next few pages. I'm just rooting for Jack so much right now, ugh, it looks ugly, because "the other guy" (Gavin) has just showed up. Either the other guy will walk, or Jack will have to fight for Lizzie. While I love a good romance fight, I hope Gavin walks! :p

That's it for now peeps!

Next Week is going to be Scandalous. *

(I have not abandoned my blog. Really.)

So. Yes. Next week, I am going to dub my scandal week. I've never had a themed reading week, so this should be fun. Also, it will be fun to get back into my beloved reading. & I swear I will not disappear again! Books lined up:

• The Book of Scandal, by Julia London.
• Snowy Night with A Stranger, by Jane Feather, Sabrina Jeffries, & Julia London.
• Highland Scandal, by Julia London.

Notice an author theme as well? :p I just love Julia London, she is definitely one of my favorite historical romance authors. :) So I figured what better author to get back into reading than her? Oh, her newest book, Highland Scandal came out yesterday, so go look at it at least, if you're a romance fan of course. It is book two in her Scandal series. (Book one: The Book of Scandal.) I picked my copy up today. I would have yesterday, but well, it was just too hot to go anywhere. I am so glad it has begun to cool down today.

So that's that. I'm waiting on the second book in my list up there to come in from the library, hopefully by Saturday. (I'm also waiting for Mail Order Bride by Victoria Bylin. I just could not wait for this one anymore.) But first this week I must find out what happens to Little P and his brother Emerson in The Foreigner by Francie Lin. I started it months ago but I had to take it back to the library before I could finish it due to me lazy reading habits. Ugh.

See everyone next week! (I swear.) :D

update on scandal week!

View Over Inkdeath.

While reading Inkdeath a couple of nights ago, I looked up, and saw this, staring at me over the book. That's my dog Brownie. :)

As I'm nearing the very end of Inkdeath (121 pages to go!), I'm a little scared at how the story is going. Everything just seems awful and is just going wrongwrongwrong. I do not like the look of things to come. Resa and Elinor are getting on my nerves and I wish someone would kill Orpheus already. I just hate him.

Anywhoozer, I went shopping yesterday, woohoo! I love to shop, even if I don't buy anything. My mom needed some last minute things for her trip with dad to Reno this weekend, and I went with her, to Kohl's. I bought these jeans, and these shoes that I am in love with. They're really sleek looking and oh so comfortable. I can't wait for a chance to wear them. I'm going to be home all weekend with the doggies, which I don't mind at all because I love them. I have a weekend filled with reading and audio books ahead of me. Oh, and brownie making. I love them. I am a choco-holic and brownies are heaven to me. :p

Library Pick-ups.

I picked these up from the library today:

From top to bottom:

1. Poison Pen by Sheila Lowe: The first Forensic Handwriting mystery book in her Claudia Rose Series. I wanted to read this one first, before I went and read Written in Blood, so I'd be more familiar with the character.
2. Baby Shark by Robert Fate: Book one in his Baby Shark (Series? There are three books in all). I got an e-mail about the third book, Baby Shark's High Plains Redemption, and replied back to it requesting a copy because it interested me, I haven't gotten it yet so I don't know if I ever will or not, but I still would like to read this character and her story so I am starting out with the first book, naturally.
3. Me of Little Faith by Lewis Black: I love this man and his work. He is one of my favorite comedians. I rather liked his first book so I hope I'll like this one too; it is made up of his views and experiences on/with religion.
4. Inkspell by Cornelia Funke: I can barely wait to get to this book. I am dying to know what happens with all the characters and somewhat loose endings from Inkheart.

I'm almost finished reading The Charm School, which is pretty good so far. I love the characters and that's always important for me in my reading. Also I'm still (slowly) reading the Jesse James book. It's not a bad book, it's just non-fiction. I am not a non-fiction type of girl. (This is only my second non-fiction read of the year.) I'd rather be running off to lands far away from my front door and world's I wish existed than be reading non-fiction. But well, I love Jesse James so it's worth it to venture out of my reading comfort zone. Anyhoo, hopefully I can finish these two books by Monday so I can get to the books I picked up today. :)

Also I read 3 Beatrix Potter tales last night, and I am so glad I did. Her stories always put me in a good mood. :)

next, please.

Okay, so after arguing with myself over what book to read next, and trying to recover from reading Phantom, I chose Lady Chatterley's Lover, by D.H. Lawrence.

I first came across this book on a long list of books on a book survey type thing I stole to do myself. :p The title intrigued me so I checked it out and decided to buy it after looking at it from the library. I started reading it a bit ago, but for whatever reason it got stuck on my "finish later" list. I was enjoying it though. So now I shall finish it. I might even finish all of my *open books* this month. I believe I have two or three all together. But first, Lady Chatterley is to be read.

I have the movie with Sean Bean in it, so I already have a basic idea of what the rest of the book will be like. I really love the movie so I hope I'll end up loving this book as well. :)
