I just saw that my library bought Ally Carter’s 3rd book, Don’t Judge A Girl by Her Cover. I was going request that the library purchase it when I saw that it was coming out last month, but didn’t want to submit a frivolous request when the library was going through cutbacks like reducing hours and laying people off. But today, on a whim, I checked the online catalog and they have 3 copies (and several holds already)! So I’m waiting patiently, but can’t wait to see what the Gallagher girls are up to next.

I finally finished Deadly Decisions and the second half was MUCH more enjoyable than the first half. I reached a happy compromise by skimming the motorcycle gang history junk and about 1/2 way through, the story got rolling. Good twists in the Andrew Ryan sub-plot (I guess he is supposed to be Booth, but he’s not in the books enough to actually be a main character) and it will be interesting to see if he’s in the next book at all, or if he’ll continue in limbo until a later novel.

I also finished the running book — plowed through it in record time — hopefully I’ll be able to say that about my running too, lol. Lots of good info and it reinforced the benefits of the run/walk principle. I think I’ll copy the 1/2 marathon training plan for future reference.

Waiting at the library is My Sister’s Keeper (the book the movie was based on) and Tori Spelling’s mom’s book, Candyland something or other.

At home I still have the plane crash Bones book to skim and the ring book to check out . . . not sure what I’m in the mood for tonight.

So I’m part-way through the 3rd Bones book. I’m loving the Andrew Ryan gets arrested sub-plot, but there’s too much of the motorcycle gang “A” storyline. Ugh. And I’m not sure how much more of the history of the Hell’s Angel’s I’m going to have to plow through to get to the good stuff. I haven’t picked it up in 3 days which isn’t a good sign in my fiction reading world. I’m going to have one more go at it today to see if I can get the plot rolling (I’m already 1/3 of the way through — shouldn’t I be there by now?)

Other books that are calling my name:
With this Ring, I’m Confused by Kristin Billerbeck — clean (christian?) chick lit
Jeff Galloway’s Book on Running, LOL. I figure reading about running has to be less painful than doing it, right?
The 4th Bones book: Fatal Voyage — whoops, just checked out the inside cover: Bones investigates a plane crash. I might have to skip that one.

ETA: Now I can’t find the book . . . hmmm, I guess I *really* don’t want to read it since I hid it from myself.

is what Bob told me as we were in the tub yesterday.

Me: Really? How?
Bob: See? (points at arms) One . . two (points at legs) three . . . four

(Points *between* legs) FIVE! It looks like a leg!

Me: I guess it does.
