Having always being an avid reader, in a previous post I did mention a seven day holiday would mean seven books read, chomping on the bit for the one book hubby would be reading. Since getting A and now having two little ones my reading has been intermittent to say the least. Most of my reading matter over the last year has been peoples blogs which I love to read all different kinds of genres. They are perfect when time is short, some post daily, some pop in to my inbox, others I will catch up with on a Sunday.
On holiday I managed to get to read two books and was pleased to discover amongst the books left behind by previous occupants a little book called The Wedding which was a sequel to The Notebook I had read earlier on in the year. This was a love story over the decades, the wife eventually getting Alzheimer's, a very touching book which I believe was made in to a movie. I'm glad to say my reading mojo was back. I suppose it is somewhat like writing this blog, sometimes I am at a loss as to what to say as I don't want to write just for the sake of it, I always hope my writing is worthwhile reading.
One of my friends always likes to read the last few pages of a book before she starts, I do laugh as I really can't see the point of that. We do all have our little quirks though and mine is once I start a book I have to finish it whether I like it or not. There has been two exceptions to this, both books lauded. The Lovely Bones I couldn't read after a few chapters. On hearing all the hype about 50 Shades of Grey, everyone seemed to be talking about this trilogy, I had to download it on to my Kindle. Oh how I love this gift from hubby and son. Go on to Amazon and immediately it is there ready to read. For some reason I only decided to download just the one as I managed to get to chapter 14, that was me done. I prefer to put my reviews where the purpose is designed, it is after all my opinion, all I shall say is the characters of this book were a little "one dimensional" and leave it at that or else I couldwould get a little ranty. My new title for this book is 50 Shades of S***.
This book was the topic of conversation at the school gate this afternoon which evolved in to what names we had for our ladybits (for the purpose of those with little girls), quite a range it seems, which resulted in raucous laughter, moved on to the merits of getting a boob out on purpose in public at age 53 to how could you leave your child behind in a pub. I love these young women.
Two more books have been downloaded onto my Kindle and whether it is the latest gadget, read, Madges boob or the state of affairs in the political world, ok that is a stretch. Pardon the pun, I do like to keep abreast of things.

Oh, you do make me laugh! Am I weird for being annoyed that they pixelated her boob in the paper? Just how old does it look?
And why is it that my reading mojo only comes out on holiday? I'd love it to stick around a bit more, I feel as though I'm missing out on loads of wonderful books x.
Lesley my hubby gets The Sun unfortunately it wasn't pixelated in that (not good when your eating your tea)it was bloody awful! I love getting my reading mojo back, but would have missed out on so many great blogs so that's a plus of missing out on books xx
