2012 Books

I read 109 books in 2012...

* 100 by female authors
* 9 by male authors

Most read male author: James Patterson - 5 books
Second: Michael Palmer - 2 books

Most read female author: Susan Mallery - 11 books
Second: Carly Phillips - 8 books

Most popular female authors after the top 2:

Emily March - 6 books
Brenda Novak - 6 books

Robyn Carr - 5 books

Nora Roberts - 4 books
JoAnn Ross - 4 books

Sheryyl Woods - 3 books

Kristin Hannah - 2 books
Iris Johansen - 2 books
Karin Slaughter - 2 books

Mallery and Phillips are long-time authors that I just started reading this year, that's why I read so many of their books.

You can tell by my most-read authors this year that I spent a lot of time reading romance books. It's not usually a genre that I focus on THAT much, but for some reason, these books spoke to me this year. Perhaps because I just celebrated my 25th anniversary and romance is always good?

Of course, you can't put Johansen or Slaughter in the romance category. Suspense and drama all the way with those two.

Patterson has had some good books this year. I had kind of gotten bored with his books over the last year or two because they just weren't as good. His Alex Cross series is still my favorite.

Now it's on to 2013. My first book this year is A Home of Her Own by Brenda Novak. Trying to finish up her Dundee, Idaho series.

My goal for this year is to read at least one more book than last year, so 110 + books, here I come!

Isn't This Gross?

Corby lets Muffin drink out of his milk glass. Isn't that disgusting? I love animals, but I sure don't share my drinks with them. YUCK! Brandon will be home tomorrow - on his 19th birthday! His last final is at 12:30. Corby & Kaleb are headed up to help him bring his stuff home. I was planning on going, but because Hope is out on medical leave, I can't take off. That's okay - I really wasn't looking forward to carrying his stuff down 7 flights of stairs! YIPPEE - MY BABY IS COMING HOME FOR THE SUMMER! Does anyone else out there love "House Hunters" - the show on HGTV? For some reason, that show grabs me. I like to see the 3 houses the couples (sometimes singles) choose from. Of course, most of them have a lot more money than we do! Saw one last night that was a young couple in Chicago - lived in the inner city, but with 2 kids decided to move to the suburbs. Their goal was to find a house for under $1,000,000. That a million dollars folks! How can peop...

Terrible Day

I'm not going to go into a lot of detail here, but suffice it to say that I had a TERRIBLE day at work! I made a huge mistake costing the company some revenue, and I feel awful! I certainly didn't need anyone to get on my butt, because I was kicking myself for the better part of the day. I know, I know, I'm human, but this was a BIG human mistake! I hate to admit that I'm human! HATE TO MAKE MISTAKES - ESPECIALLY BIG ONES! Okay, that's it. I'm having a margarita and trying to relax now. I'm done with being human for a while!
