A new year

I don't expect to be posting here much this year; much like last year I expect to be busy with mother/housewife things, and I'm also hoping to recover some more of the "me" things that had to give during Maggie's first year. One of those "me" things is reading books -- especially fiction, but really any books that have more words than illustrations. I'm off to a decent start, I've already read one book (I've set a goal of 20 this year, which would be about 16 more than last year, so it seems like a reasonable goal.)

First book read this year is Anansi Boys, by Neil Gaiman. I enjoyed it very much. No word yet on which book is next on my list.

I still check in on my Friends page daily, and like to see everyone's updates. Even if you don't see me comment or post much, I'm here.

Good for you, taking back some of your me-ness (not to be confused with mean-ness). I probably won't be posting as much as previously, but, you never know. I'm still reading constantly here too.

I'll look forward to your updates and especially your book posts. I made my goal a ridiculously out of reach 50. Twenty might be more realistic.

I doubt you'll be posting much less -- you're hooked! :)

Actually, it was your goal of 50 that inspired me to set a goal at all. I just chose not to speak of it until I sorta by happenstance managed to read a book and I thought, "hey, that worked out okay, maybe I can do this!"

I hope to occasionally review what I've read in a bit more depth than "I liked it," but not today. :)

Books are good. So are friends. I'd be thrilled to see you sometime. I'm around until early February. :)
