Oh, the characters–“Bite Me” Kady, chivalrous-despite-himself Ezra. Here is Teddie all smiley in the car, probably working out how to drive.Īnd finally, because this blog is about my love of reading and writing YA lit, I must mention that I am ADORING the audio book version of Illuminae by Kaufman and Kristoff. She growls whenever she hears the sound on television. Except she hates the sound of crying babies. My Yorkshire Terrier, on the other hand, is dumb but with a heart of gold. He is fourteen years old, follows me everywhere, is a white poodle and the smartest dog I have ever known. I don’t know if I’ve mentioned him here in my blog before, but I have this good buddy named Teddie. My past two months of reading productivity has been super low–three books a month compared with an average of nine books a month before that. So, yeah, the number of books I read in a month seems to correlate to my mental state. Fortunately, I’m starting to wean myself off that because it is just not healthy.
Oh, and I freely admit to spending too much time on Twitter rubbernecking the train wreck that is our current White House administration. In my free time after work and family, instead of reading or working on my novel or blogging, suddenly watching TV shows like Chewing Gum (what a hilariously irreverent Brit-com), Long Lost Family, and Feud-Bette and Joan, and practicing Spanish on Duolingo is a lot easier than try to focus on reading words. (Sorry to start on a sad note, but it really does get better…) My focus has understandably been off. What’s up with that? I blame it on decompressing after the death in January of my beloved dad. Hello, fellow book junkies! Four months into 2017, and I’m already eleven books behind on my Goodreads Reading Challenge.
