Vacation Reading (& book buying!)

I never travel or go anywhere for my vacations. I work at home, cook, lounge around and - you guessed it - read up a storm. I also tend to take a trip (or 5) to the book store, thus adding to my already Everestian to-be-read (or "TBR") book pile(s).

This week I've actually gotten sidetracked by internet work and writing (National Novel Writing Month - NaNoWriMo for those "in the know" - begins on Sunday and I'm participating again this year, but with great hopes for a successful conclusion, unlike last year's crash and burn ending).

But I have been reading. Regency romances mostly - Julie Quinn's "Mr. Cavendish I Presume", and a Stephanie Laurens. Plenty more where they came from too!

What I'll be picking up today, however, will be the various writing research and craft books that I'll steep myself in (again in prep. for NaNo to get my authorial juices flowing and my mind back in 'writer mode').

I got the newest Nora Roberts ("Bed of Roses") but Mom got to it first. I also have to find my copies of Gilgamesh that is the first Great Books project I have undertaken. (See other blog for that challenge!)

You know what? I suddenly feel a bookstore trip coming on!

Gotta run!
