Books, Books and more books
It’s looking like next year is going to be the year I actually reread things, with movies like The Hobbit & Ender’s Game coming out I will need to refresh my views on these novels and appreciate them.
I’m also really hoping to read 52 in 52. I welcome suggestions on novels, although I think I have at least the first 3 months covered by what is on my “to be read” shelf at home. Plus I always get books for Christmas.
As I read next year I will also post a quick review of each book, to hold myself accountable and to let you know what books I liked and disliked.
Hope everyone has a wonderful new year and that 2012 brings all the best.
Daydreaming
One of the books I read for my 52 in 52 this year was Rebecca Bloom's Tangled Up in Daydreams, a novel about Molly a young hip jewelry designer living in LA with her amazing boyfriend. Or so we think as we start the novel, as the reader is drawn into Molly running away, we still are not sure what happened or why she is running back home. As the novel progresses we understand her boyfriend is not the most stable person in the world. Molly spends parts of the book reflecting on the past and filling in the story for us, through flashbacks and dreams we are given more insight into her flawed but loving relationship with everyone around her. Bloom does an excellent job keeping the reader wondering what is going to happen and makes you root for love. Again this was another easier read for me, a little fluffy at times but with some more adult problems thrown into the story line. Check out Tangled Up in Daydreams when the weather turns better, I think this is a bit of a beach read.
I’m finally going to see a doctor about a mental health plan. The past several months have been pretty shit. The things that used to make me happy really don’t spark any joy or make up for the bullshit I deal with in my head on a daily basis.
I have some problems at work and it’s not resolving anything in my life. I feel like I let my partner down, myself down and everyone down. And when I do ask for help it’s not given cause I’ve been so untrustworthy in the past.
I needed to write this out before I talk to the doctor or I’ll go totally off my rocker.
