Comfort Books

Just about everyone who knows me, knows that I am a MAJOR reader!  I was one of the few kids growing up that got yelled at for reading too much!  After the first time that I moved, my Uncle informed me that he'd gladly help me move any time I needed him, but that he refuses to ever move my books again!  I have a LOT of books!

Normally I am always reading something new.  Yes, I have some favorites that get read over and over again.  But at the same time I am always looking for a new story.  But the last few months have been a bit odd for me.  Anytime that I start something new, I find myself very quickly flipping back to something that I've already read and love.

I think part of it might be the time that I take out of my schedule to go to the gym.  It's made most of my days so tightly scheduled that I just don't have that time to sit and read.  But I can't blame the gym entirely.  I mean, the vast majority of the "reading" I get done is during work when I listen to audio books.  I was looking through my iPod this morning and I have 67 audiobook on there that I either haven't started or have only listened to the very beginning of!  (This might also be a sign that I've become addicted to Overdrive.com through the library!)  But every time that I flip to one of these many new stories, I find myself craving one of my favorites by Patricia Briggs, Kelley Armstrong, J R Ward, Karen Marie Moning or Vince Flynn.  I'd have to say that 95% of the books that I have read/listened to in the last 3 months are by one of those 3 authors, none of which have a new book out!  So, obviously I am just going back through the ones I've already read.

Not sure what's been going on with me!  But I apologize to those of you that typically ask me for book recomendations!  I just don't have anything new to recommend.  All that I am reading right now are my comfort books, the ones that I know will put a smile on my face!
