It's Saturday! And what does that mean? RAMBLING. I know, I know. If you'd rather hear more book-related things tune in tomorrow.
Or, actually, maybe on Monday. It feels extremely weird having a scheduled rambling, but I'll be out today morning (god, this feels weird), and the thunder storming and hurricane-ing is expected to commence in Maryland today afternoon. So I'll schedule a Monday and Tuesday post, and hopefully everything will be back to normal by then. I live more inland so it should be fine, but my best wishes goes out to those living along the coast or in Pennsylvania. If you're reading this in the morning and live in an area the hurricane is expected to affect, Jacqui at Single Parent Retreat posted some helpful tips.
...to lighten the mood, I quite like Hurricane Irene's name. Hurricane naming is definitely a case of personification in my eyes, and I can't help but think of a lovely storm giant. Like Hurricane Isabel (that one was bad). I guess it's truly a sign that I'm a hardcore fantasy fan, haha. :P
Anyways, I've been having this weird syndrome where I don't want to read. And then I read a book and, of course, it's FANTASTIC. And I'm like "JENNIFER, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!" (Yes, follow along, I talk to myself.) Response: I don't knowwwww. WHAT WAS I THINKING?!!!!
... and then it's still hard for me to bring myself to read another book.
I don't know what's wrong with me, and it's driving me crazy. Has this ever happened to you?

That happens to me after reading a really really really fantastic book. I couldn't bring myself to read another book after Jellicoe Road for almost a month. I just finished Wanderlove and am now in another rut. :/ Good luck getting out of the reading funk! :)

And CARA, I'll reply to your email soon, I promise. Though reading this right now, I hope you're okay. o_o" My area was just hit with some heavy rain and power outage, Luckily my family didn't lose power, but the internet on the other hand... died.
AHH, need to read Jellicoe Road. Do you have another potential WOW-book that you're coveting? :>
Cara 85p · 708 weeks ago

Not wanting to read happens to me after I read a bad book. When I read an amazing book, I just can't wait to pick up another one. It just gets me into a reading mood. Hope you get out of your reading funk soon! :)

And thanks! Though I feel like I'm afloat among a lot of okay/pretty good books these days... xD

I get phases when I just don't want to read anything. I look and look at all my books and I don't feel like picking any of them up. So, I guess you're not alone! :)
Jenn 64p · 708 weeks ago
YES. *high5* Though I hope you're not in one of those phases right now, haha.

I know what you mean when you say that sometimes you might not want to read a book and then you find yourself reading it. I am like that to some of the time. I sometimes think it might not be good or I just wont like it, and next thing you know, I am waiting on line to buy the second book.!!!

Walking to the corner store after for some emergency cat kibbles & a random lady stopped me and told me to fill my tub with water in case all power fails so I can flush my toilet. Toilets still work when power fails in my house but it was sweet of her to tell me this tip.
Ppl think we r all over reacting and they are talking about Katrina's storm surges compared to Irene's & that we'll be ok & to calm down.
It's still pretty scary here, ppl are moving out if they live on the beach, taping windows, battening down the hatches basically.
We know Irene is no Katrina but it's still scary for ppl in certain areas.
Oh well.
Hope all of you are OK..
I will be reading and working on my blog and other stuff & hoping all is well with everyone outside.
I am reading Bloodlines and then I will start one I got in the mail the other day from a publisher its called Dark Territory. I have a HUGE HUGE TBR pile :P I need to find my other 2 zombie books I have them somewhere..Argh..All these magazines too..Ooohhhh....
