I went to Half Price Book Store today and I did not buy one single romance book. I bought a couple of picture books for my dad, Bobby bought a humor book, and the only book I got was a history book on Prehistoric People.
CRAZY!!!!!!! Not a single romance book. I really think something is wrong with me.
wish me luck

Summer Fun
Got Six Flags season passes oh and Wet-N-Wild. Very exciting.
Went last night and it was a rush to be on some of the rides. I haven't been to Six Flags in years. Its been crazy long. Couple of funny stories:
1. The first roller coster we got on was the runaway mountain, even when I did go to Six Flags that was my least favorite ride. I can honestly say as of last night I have been on that right twice now. Anywho, so we are on the ride, and for those who know, its pitch black, no lights. I caught myself closing my eyes during the duration of the ride even though it is dark. I know.
2. Another ride we got on was the raging rapids. (yes I use the original names, old school). Of course me and another girl on a ride that holds 10 people, we are the only ones that are completely soaked. I mean soaked, not just little splashes here and there, from my shoes to my shirt watered down. Well not my shoes because they are water proof but the inside of one shoe and not the other. Hey, at least I was not hot ;)
At the end of the night they had a glow in the dark parade and it was awesome, very well put and the lights were good. We have plans for wet n wild tomorrow and possible friday. Great way to start (and end) my summer ....

Changes and Current Reading
I have decided not to force myself to read the books I have posted on my list. So I made a page and added the rest of the books on the list that I left off. I will mark them as I read them and I will just have a current reading post instead. This should be less stressful and I won't feel guilty when I read new books I purchase instead of the ones just waiting on the list.
This is the Current Reading List from the previous lists and then I will add from here.
Current Reading
The Red Pyramid - Rick Riordan
Lover Revealed - J. R. Ward
Flat-Out Sexy - Erin McCarthy (re-reading for book club)
Wake - Lisa McCann
Pure - Terra Elan McVoy
Lover Unbound - J. R. Ward
Fade - Lisa McCann
And Then There Were None - Agatha Christie
Gone - Lisa McCann
Bonds of Justice - Nalini Singh
This is the Current Reading List from the previous lists and then I will add from here.

Updated Reading List
Update: As of July 4, 2010 all the books I have read will have been marked out in ORANGE in the first list posted.
I read Wake for my YA bookclub and couldn't contain myself. I read the sequel, Fade and the final book in the series, Gone. I really, really, really (etc) love this series.
