As I wonder why I wonder

So this week has been a little lighter on the facebook games and a little heavier on the journalling. Not a whole lot of reading…I discovered a new author, Elizabeth George…well, let me back up. I’ve been reading nothing but mystery novels for the last few years…the plots are straightforward, they’re usually interesting, and if I’m just reading and not taking anything in it doesn’t really matter because they aren’t trying to say anything anyways. But our library is small and I read quickly, so even accounting for the fact that I pay no attention to a lot of the books, and therefore can read them several times without noticing, I am running out of books. So I started reading some of the more intense-looking ones. Not graphically violent, I draw the line there, but you know…thick books, small type…ones that maybe might be trying to say something, in spite of their genre? And I found Elizabeth George. And I was hooked…and I read every one in the library. And now I’m spoiled and can’t find any books I want to read.

Anyways, the point of that was that I have a lot to show you today. So without further ado (because I read somewhere that blog posts should be short and on topic, and I have trouble staying on topic…), here we go…

Re-e-e-ach, Mama!
