I just moved to Arizona to be with my boyfriend. His kids are here and he has a good job so I didn't think it was right to make him move for me. It's a small town and I'm having trouble find a job...even at the mall. It's starting to stress me out and depress me... but it's left me with a lot of time for reading. In July and August so far I have read:
July
40. "Flipped" by Wendelin Van Draanen 212 pages
41. "The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul" by Douglas Adams 211 pages
42. "Belle De Jour: Diary of An Unlikely Call Girl" by Anonymous 291 pages
43. "Mostly Harmless" by Douglas Adams 277 pages
44. "Animal Farm" by George Orwell 128 pages
45. "Blood Roses" by Francesca Lia Block 129 pages
46. "Jack and Jill" by James Patterson 466 pages
47. "No Place Like Home" by Mary Higgens Clark 472 pages
48. "The Pawn" by Steven James 427 pages

This puts me at my goal of 50 for the year, so I'm upping it to 75.
I'm currently reading K is for Killer by Sue Grafton, Things Fall Apart, and Frankenstein.
I'm taking part in the
www.bookcrossing.com challenge of reading the 1001 books to read before you die. If you aren't a member of bookcrossing you should check it out. It's a cool community for sharing books. If you do sign up, my name is Withoutwings. Put me as the referrer so I can add you as a friend.
The 2008 version of the list, along with my progress can be found on my blog at
