LOL! Welllll, I don't have the day job anymore, so that helps! But you're right, I don't sleep much haha! I despise sleep because it always feels like such a waste to me when I could be reading, writing, or chatting about reading and writing hehe. But thank you, I do try very hard to keep all my projects moving along although the Goodreads thing is more of just an obsession at this point!!! You people are just too much fun that I can't stay away for long!

LOL! A clone would be awesome, especially if you got to enjoy all the reading your clone could do! I love putting writing aside for a while and just reading (which I've done for a week in between projects), but then my characters start speaking to me and they force me to write their stories haha!

That happens to me too. I'll be reading a story and then suddenly I have an epiphany and have to switch over to one I'm writing. Usually it's just a scene or two, but in the case of the first time, it was an entire book.
I was reading the Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini (i.e. Eragon) and about halfway through the third one, the idea for my 2nd book just popped up and took over and I never quite finished reading the series. Now, I'll have read from the start when I decide to tackle the series again (it's been a year, after all).

Dad-Stop reading ..."
That Mama movie looks really creepy and I'm pretty sure that I'd be jumping at shadows, too.

Yeah, those would help, that's for sure.
I do a lot of writing for my day job, mostly instructional design, but it's completely different from the writing I do at home. I actually wrote a blog post about the differences today (here on Goodreads).

SO is Shatter Me really good? To be honest, I have tried this series and it's not even on my TBR. SHould it be?

Cool, thanks Megan, that's really helpful, I'll definitely read the sample before buying :) I've got a tight book budget so I try to make it go a long way!


That's what I thought, too. The little bit I read was great. I've gotta go dig up the author's name so I can keep an eye out for the finished product.
Lol yes!! We can read together ;) Shall I set up a buddy read for it? Seems we've got a few fans looking to read it right away!!
