I was disappointed in myself regarding my reading for the past couple weeks, until I finally reminded myself that sometimes life gets in the way. Life takes priority - my KIDS and HUSBAND take priority. My running sometimes takes priority. Sometimes, my DVR takes priority.
So here's what I was thinking about on my last run. I love to read. And this year, while I read a lot, was also my time to prove to myself that it was okay to love cheesy chick lit and YA. Which I did. A lot. In between though, I've read some really GOOD books. And so while I complete my goals for Fall Into Reading, I'm also working on what my reading goals for next year will be.
But here's what I've been reading:
-- I didn't get back to Untouchable. I still need to finish this, and I want to. I have books from the library that are due and can't be re-upped, so it's been on hold.
-- The Sword-Edged Blonde - Alex Bledsoe. I was getting bored listening to Pandora while I ran, so I downloaded my library's app to listen to audiobooks on my phone. This was my first listen, and while it's not at all my usual read I really enjoyed it. And I REALLY enjoyed running while listening to a book.
-- Feast of Fools - Rachel Caine. Another in the Morganville vampire line.
-- Forever - Maggie Stiefvater. I enjoyed this. I didn't hear good things about it, and while No, it was not as good as the other two, I still enjoyed it.
-- Season to Taste: How I Lost my Sense of Smell and Found My Way - Molly Birnbaum. I'm 60 pages in, and it's due back at the library today. It's excellent, so guess what I'm going to be doing in my "spare" time today.
So I'm up to 94 books, and of those I still need to finish 2. Six full books and two halves left to go!

I finished Cold Magic last week and really enjoyed it. It's a fantasy (cyber punk alternate 19th century) novel, so may not be your thing. I'm looking forward to reading the next one which is out, but decided to take a little break and try a YA.
I picked out The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer from my Amazon recommendations and I'm almost done with it. I like it so far. I'm not sure if the very end will disappoint. I think you'd like it too.
I'm still jealous by the way. I'm only up to 56 books this year. I'm going to try to make it to at least 60, but I'd like to try for 75. I'd plan out the rest of the year, but it's so easy to get distracted.
