I'm not really sure why, but lately, I've been in a sort of reading slump. It took me forever to finish Skeleton Key by Anthony Horowitz when it really should've only taken about a day or two. Then, I picked back up where I was reading The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde and it just couldn't capture and keep my attention so, I quit reading it. After all, there are so many books in the world, why waste your time reading the bland ones? That's why I've moved on to Emma by Jane Austen partially because I'm reading it for the Jane Austen Book Club and partially because I haven't read Austen in a while and I need my fix of it. There's just something about her elegant wording and wonderful plotlines that always pull me in and hold me close. Hopefully, I will start reading at a faster pace soon so I can get some more books on my 55 Books in a Year List. I'm only at like four and I think I need to be finding some more great books to add to it. Also, I need to make more progress on my 50 States Challenge which I plan to do with The Espressologist (Illinois) and The Ghost Orchid (New York). Well, I've got a lot of stuff that needs to get done. Until I post again, happy reading.
