Work has been keeping me pretty busy and I've not felt like blogging when I get off work and I've not been doing well on the program. I'm very disappointed with myself, I expected to be further along my path by now, but I haven't been doing what I'm supposed to and the results speak for themselves. So I need to refocus and get back on track.
Well...over the summer a group of friends and I have been participating in a book club. Each person is assigned 2 book buddies and one of your book buddies sends you a book to read and you send a book to your other book buddy. When you finish the book that was sent to you, then you forward it on to the next person on your list. When your book comes back, then it's time to send out another book. So far, books I've read in the book club are, in no particular order: Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, Mapping Human History: Discovering the Past Through Our Genes by Steve Olson
Blood Lust: Conversations with Real Vampires (book out of print), and Fugitives and Refugees: A Walk in Portland, Oregon by Chuck Palahniuk.
My send to book buddy is a fast reader, so I've sent several books to keep her busy while I wait on the next entries to get to me. My contributions to the book club have been: The Bride Stripped Bare: A Novel by Nikki Gemmell, The Corset Diaries by Katie MacAllister, and The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffeneger.
Other books I've read this summer and traveling for work: Affinity by Sarah Waters, Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder, Window Dressing by Nikki Rivers, The DaVinci Code by Dan Brown, Jemima J: A Novel About Ugly Ducklings and Swans by Jane Green, and Awakening by Kate Austin.
I am currently reading: The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova, Sand in my Bra and Other Misadventures: Funny Women Write from the Road edited by Jennifer L. Leo, and Remembering the Future: The Path to Recovering Intuition by Collette Baron-Reid

Invis, I think I've heard of Collette Baron-Red before, and if she's who I think she is, she also has CDs of her music that are quite lovely. Is she Canadian? You may not feel like blogging, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who enjoys reading your blog! Keep blogging! -- fionamap
PS If it's any comfort, my diet has sucked bigtime lately too. It's a sad fact of wintry November - we LONG for comfort food and hot chocolate... a bitter, bitter fact. Soldier on, girl.
Hey, I started reading "The Historian" over Christmas. I'm half way through and still not getting a hint of the ultimate secret they'll reveal. Beautifully written book.
I hope you're going to update your site more in the New Year, ducky! I always look forward to it!
