Reading Tons

A whole week! I can’t believe it. I’m just so surprised. It went by so fast I didn’t realize it was gone. The new job is hard to adjust to because I’m such a night owl. I’m pleased to be working again. The only downer is that even though it isn’t so incredibly far to drive, but I have to admit I hate the thought of an extra 1000 miles on my truck each month. I know that is not out-of-the-ordinary for a lot of people, but I lived 2-5 miles from most every job I have ever had. I am spoiled! LOL.

I read a lot this past week. 5 books I think! More than normal because I was coming home tired and it is easier to read than write so I just grabbed a new book every other day or so. I read the Warner Cajun books by Sandra Hill finally. Funny. Sexy. I’d read The Love Potion years ago and I had been collecting the others but never got to them.

Speaking of reading...

I read an article by a famous romance author in the newspaper this week. She’s been around awhile. Her career started because she didn't like romance novels and said she could do better. I personally loved some of the authors getting a start during this time frame. Jude Deveraux and Johanna Lindsey are among my favorites. I sure hope she isn't cutting down those particular authors that were a writing during that immature and stupid era she was talking about in the interview.

I'd be lying if I said that every book I've read was great. But the huge, vast majority of them have been books that make me continue to be an avid reader of romance. I personally would love to have a 20+ year career, yet if someone asks me in the future why I started writing I will be pleased to say it is because I love the romance genre.
