   I love to read before I go to sleep, but I got addicted to hubbing for a while. lol And then I got interested in making videos.  So, by the time I hit the bed at 1:00-2:00am (sometimes even later), I was just too tired to read.  Recently, I found a book I bought from the library sale for 25cents... a romance by Lynn Kurland, "With Every Breathe I Take" (Whoo! so cheesy!), which I started reading last year but never finished.  I had forgotten what it was all about... so I started reading it again from the beginning, and I am loving it.

   Kindle for me too.  I just started Charles Frazier's "Nightwoods". You have to wait a decade between each of his novels, so it's pretty exciting when one comes out.

Still reading "What the Dog Saw" by Malcom Gladwell. About to start "Fall of the Giants" by Ken Follett.  Listen to it books on tape and want to read the book to make sure I didn't miss a word.  Can't wait for the next book in the trilogy.
