Have you heard of Goodreads? It's an amazing thing really. It's this huge online book club sort of thing. You can join all kinds of groups and read and discuss books. Join whatever genres you are interested in. Talk as little or as much as you like. Read other readers reviews on books. It's a very cool site. I've been a member for a while now and I haven't even begun to really get to know them.

One of my groups is about the paranornal, which I've started to enjoy reading. I had no idea this stuff could be so much fun. Anita Blake for instance. She's a hard kinda gal...an animator, which is someone who can raise a zombie. But she's also a vampire killer. This sounds freaky right? It is kinda, But throw in one hot vampire "lord" and a werewolf and some other interesting characters and Anita's love of penguins, and you get some really fun reading. Sookie is the best though. I LOVE Sookie. Twilight of course. But now I'm learning about all other sorts of paranormal stuff and I'm really enjoying the reading. It's escapism at it's best.

One of my very favorite books EVER, The Hunger Games and Catching Fire (a series), was something I discovered on Goodreads. I just finished reading a book called The Forrest of Hands and Teeth which I also really enjoyed (it scared me a little too) and I found out about that book on Goodreads. I find myself really enjoying exploring Goodreads and reading people's reviews on books. I love it.

Shaun and I took the kids for a short walk around the block tonight. It was butt arse cold outside! I got my nails done today and I made a new recipe tonight that turned out really good. Those are the highlights to my day. That's really about it.

It's supposed to rain tomorrow (tonight into tomorrow anyway) and I'm going to bake some carrot bread. For some reason that I can't explain, I'm really looking forward to it.

Random Thought for the Day: I'm scared that I'll get fat again. The first year is the honeymoon period. My first year anniversary is in a few days and I won't make my goal weight. THAT doesn't bother me as much as the thought that this may be the best that I ever get. I guess the ball is in my court on that one eh?
