Books and Stuff

In the past seven years or so I've had about three or four blogs/diaries/journals that I've tried to maintain. The most successful one was my diaryland account which lasted about a year-and-a-half. I abandoned it because there were a few people who knew about it that I didn't want reading it. I tried LiveJournal for awhile and then one of my friends pretty much vanished from the face of society and it was too painful to use since that was how I had kept track of her when we weren't together.

This blog is my latest attempt and one that I hope to maintain. I've been told my family actually reads it on occasion and since I'm horrible at correspondence it seemed a good way to let them know how I'm doing. (by the way, family, commenting on posts is fine - just hit the comment link at the bottom.)

...where was I going with this. Oh, yeah. Anyway, in all that time I rarely looked at any other blogs or journals, despite the popularity of following other people. I found one recently - which I may have mentioned before - called Book 'n a Mug that I've started to follow. The author is fun to read and writes about one of my favorite things. Books! The most recent post deals with book recommendations so I took a look at Random House's book recs. Ayn Rand showed up as one of the top authors of the list, which is funny because I came across her novels while organizing the bookshelves at the Parent's House the other day. I've never read her stuff and hadn't even heard of her, only to find out she's very famous and on a Top 100 Novels list. Perhaps I should give her a try.

Of course a large amount of these novels are geared more toward fiction and not fantasy, which is my particular preference. Therefore I shall list my own recommendations. ...in my next post. I'm typing in an awkward postion and my wrists are tired. (shut up...don't say it).

Rehearsals and getting ready for Bible School tomorrow. And I'm getting a digeridoo!! I shall annoy the neighbors greatly. Hee.
