I miss reading!

I can't believe after all these years that I've finally joined Goodreads! Undoubtedly, I'm going to screw this up somehow, but they say to add a blog so here it goes lol (and yes, this really is me- only the real JR Ward could be this confused about something that shouldn't b this hard to figure out!)

I love my job writing. It is the single best thing in the world- aside from dogs, a good cup of coffee, and the Louisville Cardinal Men's Basketball team winning against anyone who's ranked especially that other team in the state- and is one of the few endeavors I'm really good at. The only thing that hasn't been so great about having this career is that I don't read anymore. Part of that is the reality of time constraints; another part is the fact that my eyes are usually so burned out by the end of the work day, the last thing I have any interest in is reading anything. I want to watch a football or basketball game, or some Real Housewives thing or a rerun of The Office.

That being said, I'm having a ball going through and listing the books that I've read that I've loved soooooo much. I'm not done, but finding them and putting them on my profile?board?whatisitcalledhere? has reminded me of the great joy I had when I was between their covers. Elizabeth Lowell is probably the biggest star in my night sky- her books were the ones that got me started in romance. And then there's Suzanne Brockmann who made me cry because she was so good and I was convinced I was never going to get there. Doc Jess is there, too- my very best writer friend and a woman I couldn't respect more. And my mentor Sue Grafton. And Lisa Gardner. And Karen Marie Moning. And I have to add Christine Feehan!

Anywho, I'm babbling. I don't know how to do blogs or any of this, but one thing I am sure about? Without these women, I wouldn't be where I am now.

Oh, and I'm a Howard Stern fan. From the way back. RIP Eric the Actor. Hail to Bababooey. Fred is an alien. Ronnie is the man. I miss Artie.

What was I talking about? Books! Man, I gotta start reading again...
