Hmmm...My Bookish Goals This Week...

I am in the midst of reading this...love the characters...love the mystery of it...Vermont setting...women being taken and murdered and left in odd spots with religious pamphlets in their pockets and oodles of suspects...oodles. The main character is, of course, dysfunctional all on her own. She used to have a prestigious career but now lives with a mini pig named Henrietta and lots of dogs and writes a sort of household remedy column. It's the kind of column that tells you how to use baking soda in a hundred different ways. The last dead body has been positioned against a tree on her property so she is very involved in the mystery. I love the writing...it's lovely.






I am alternating between physical books and egalleys...it is working for me!!!
Next I plan to read this because I love alternating realism with fantasy...it keeps me totally confused.




And then I hope to squeeze in this...because it just looks so good I can't stand it...




Plus...here is the thing...I have a life beyond books...I really do!!!
I meet with friends and talk to my husband and go for walks and organize closets and make dinners and see family and plan vacations and buy stuff and pin...I spend some of my time pinning on Pinterest!!!

Too much time...

I play Words With Friends with my brother and my husband and others. I am now playing Draw Something with my sister in law. I spent most of yesterday cleaning and doing laundry. I make yummy dinners full of fresh organic stuff!!!
Sometimes if and when I feel sorry that I stopped teaching...I wonder how I would have squeezed in all of this stuff...especially Pinterest!!!
I seriously do not know the meaning of idle time any more...I am always doing something while doing something else!!!

My mom used to call me a day dreamer...she would laugh and say " my Patty always has her head in the clouds".
Wow...not any more...I am a fast paced brisk walking word playing reading pinning drawing multitasker!!!

Whew!!!

OMG...is this good or bad? Is it because of my iPad? I am never without it. I read in between everything else that I do on it. I take videos and photos on it...the only mistake I made is not getting the most memory on it...next time..lol...

It's so fast and so helpful and...and...so addictive?

Does anyone else feel this way?
