I have always complained that i haven’t done some decent book reading since I got pregnant with Raine. I mean reading to feed my soul or something, he he. I think all I’ve really read since then are stuff on parenting, pregnancy and babies. Then when I started blogging, it has gotten even worse! Who needs books when everything you can read online?! ;-)

But I really want to read books again.

(I am not counting 7 books of Harry Potter in this category, okay? No offense to JK Rowling. I soooo loved the way she turned around her life and wrote Harry Potter instead. Who would have known, right? Besides, my whole family loves HP, the books and the movies too. My younger brothers who I guess has never read a novel their whole lives, has picked up the HP books with enthusiasm and read all 7 from cover to cover. How can I not love JK Rowling, if only for that?)

I’m just hungry for some real reading. You know the kind that doesn’t include the words antioxidant, stem cells, flavonoids, metastatic or autoimmune in any paragraph or sentence!

Of course in the last 5 years, books are a luxury. I was buying diapers, milk, baby food; paying the nanny, the rent…you know, stuff — far more basic than books to feed my soul. Ha ha ha. Besides, I just couldn’t find a real quiet time all those years.

Anyway, my amazon shopping cart are filled with books I have been wanting to read. Ready for checkout. Then my PC monitor went kaput. I had to buy a new one. Again, goodbye books. Stay in the shopping cart longer. Maybe next month? I really hope so.
