Book List and Award

So, dear reader, during the last two weeks, I have become the voracious reader I've always been but haven't been lately because of my laziness, apathy, and just plain old...something. Actually, I'm not really sure as to why I haven't been reading, I mean, I've honestly been a read-a-holic since...let's see...when did I learn to read? Ah, yes. I was four years old.

Anyway, it's exciting, having this desire to read and read and read and read even though I have plenty of other distractions (i.e. things that are important to the welfare of my family and entire existence) that should take me away from the reading. But this is half the fun, you know! I'm never bored. If I have some downtime and I don't feel like blogging, voila! I have a book to read. Of course, it stinks when I would rather read than clean the house or make a meal. Or take a shower. I mean, not like that has ever happened...ahem...

Anyway, I thought I'd give you my book list. This consists of books I've recently read, am reading, and are going to read. Usually I'd just do this on Goodreads, but I've been slacking over there lately, and I figured I might as well give my non-Goodreads friends the opportunity to see what I'm reading. As if they cared. Or something.

(side note: I'm not going to "rate" the books I've read. I pretty much enjoyed them all and it takes a really bad book to make me cringe.)

Alison Wonderland gave me an award. Although at first it may seem like an insult (stay with me), trust me, it is not! Here is the award:

Whoo-hoo!

And now I would like to bestow this upon some people I know will appreciate it:

Flip Flop Mama, Julie, Mother of the Wild Boys, and anybody else who loves such random SNL fun-ness (madhousewife, Susan M, and Bythelbs already got it from Alison, just fyi!). Honestly, if you are into the cowbell scene, please take it! And if you don't know what I'm talking about, please go here and be educated. And laugh.

That is all.

Coming up tomorrow: Year of Tens; The Proposal!
