fingering (threw) blogs


It’s something we all do....

Still, it's come to my attention, as things often do, that it's time to ring in the New Year, or more so, it's the time when the only thing left is Christmas (and I think Thanks Giving, right? I can never remember--mostly because I'm not American and have no care about the day) still, it's seems that we are already in the mind set of the new year, that we are already there, just waiting for the time when we can say, 'Yeah its 2012'--well, maybe not the ones that think the worlds gonna end then, really, apparently that's gonna be close to happening in like 200yr when that big ass asteroid is gonna scrap by us, and lucky for me, I'll be dead by then. Yeah! 

Sorry, I went somewhere else in my head then, but then again, it's me. 
[spliced because it's a long winedy road to my point]

so it's like there isn't anything left to say, though there's still plenty, and I'm saying it like everyone is talking about stuff normal reserved to the start of school when the big man (doesn't have to be actual size) tells all his itty bitty papules’ all the rules of school. all over again, just in case you all forgot the last ten times he told you (but imagine yourself in the starting position, scary—that's me son, scared shitless of 'big' school, had to force him into the room, it was hard, being that he's actually the size of a second grader (only a little excaudation—hell, my daughter whose 4 is taller than most of the kids in her brothers year) 

off topic again, sorry, but like a lot of you, I can't wait for the new year to being--mostly I want March to start up (waiting for books then), still we can't wait for Christmas but we are already jumping on the new year shit, the 'helpful' hints to stop pissing off them personally and probably a lot of other bloggers out there—hell, I read one, it was...um, WORD for Teens (Chick Lit Teens, was the bitch about people stop sending her crap about their own blogs/books, she bitched about other people bitching. Funny) and they were going on about what to do to start a blog of your own (which has become a sorta weekly special for a few bloggers out there) and I found that I did everything she said—except promote my blog of other bloggers sites, I don’t think I could comment on something and then drop my blog into the mix. For one I don’t believe I have anything that interesting to say, though I love anyone that will listen, you guys are legends in my eyes. Really. Couldn’t love you more, or less I guess, being that I don’t know you personally. Still I can’t see myself ever pushing my site on to anything—hell, I’m surprised that it’s being publicised somewhere, and that people are looking at it (also makes me wonder why? does the name mean something different, than a bunch of letters, spelling something very much popular to anyone?)

Still, nowhere near the point, sorry again (really all I can do is apologise). Anyway, I love reading other peoples blogs, more so than anything else, honestly it takes up so much of my time (thankyou baby Jesus) and I love looking at the Waiting on Wednesday posts—they are great, getting a look at all those books that are coming out (even if I won’t see them, for a good three months after...yeah, no bitching!) and also Cover Reveals are great too, makes you interested in the books themselves, even if it’s only really the bloggers interest and love for the series/cover that gets you into it. But then, isn’t that why we all read review blogs—to get interested in books that we might not have second looked at. To know if it’s worth getting the ones that we have?

Saying this, I generally don’t read half the books that I read the review for, if I don’t find it interesting enough to just by off the self (‘cause I’m a shelf buyer, love the in-house feel of it all, rather than anything else—also, because of all my flipping, I generally know what I’m looking for, and if I’m just browsing—well, that’s more fun in the shop, than on line (my thing)) I love seeing what people want, I love seeing new covers, especially the covers that I wouldn’t go looking for myself (like book 3 in the paranolmacy series, it’s a series that I couldn’t get myself past the first book, but a lot of them are that way for me, I’m a bitch when it comes to reading sequels even when they are sitting on my shelf [forbidden, Jane Oliver.  Angels Arias, Marianne de Pierres], hell, I have trouble when I was iffy about the series to being with [the dead girl’s dance, Rachel Caine. The Fallen 2, Thomas E. Sniegoski] but then again, I’m not good with trilogies either [the vampire Narcise, Colleen Gleason], if you can’t get me to read you all the way through then...well, I don’t know, it’s odd. But also, I’m in a bit of a mood lately, I haven’t been bothered reading, writing, cleaning, caring. Really, it’s little wonder I have gotten anything on the blog, and mostly (before this post) I’ve really had to push myself for anything to go up. Sad as that is—and also a lot of it happens to be old crap done by me. Hell if it wasn’t for the fact that it’s way too early, I would have already posted my proposal.

Anyway, I was meant (and you see what I mean about a long way to get there, can’t you?) to be posting a little something about Misty the Book Rats Vlog post Bok Pushing—favourite contemporaryreads (book chat). I’m not really a fan of contemp, honestly the only ones that I can remember reading (which means they either meant something to me, or it was recent—like on holidays, when I that adult romance novel, which wasn’t all that bad, at least the one I actually finished) the other is the Secret Garden—but then it’s not a contemp anymore is it, being that it was written in the good ol’ days. But it would have been when it was written, right? oh, I also read, Baby Sister Club, little sister, books when I was a tween (mostly because they were all I could read, yep, that's me, dumb (or you could say, had a reading problem)

Anyway, I don’t like them, a lot of the reason why I don’t, run the same way as Misty, but I actually find them very boring. There isn’t enough in the books for me, not when your use to reading paranormal, where there is at least two others things going on besides the love story. I just like to enjoy my reads, rather than get bored by then, and I always find that I do with contrmp.

Also, I didn’t know that A Walk To Remember was a novel—probably should have because I watched the movie more times than I want to remember, and even that was a little too, ah, sweet. But it’s a Josh Hartnett movie, and I love to look at him.... yum!

Anyway, that’s all I have at the moment,
Thanks for your time
