Well,  I've been severely lacking with keeping this blog updated with what I've read. I've decided to try goodreads.com to keep track of my reading this year.

I've set a goal for myself to try to read 100 books this year but don't think i'm doing so well with that lol.

Rachel Vincent

A long time ago, I ran across her name on another blog (or website). I picked up her first book when it came out shortly after. Fell in love with her stories.
I'm a bit sad now that the Shifters series has ended. I recently read (or reread) the entire series.

I would love to see more about Faythe and Marc and the rest of the Pride. She's hinted that there could possibly be short stories in the future but that could just be me wishfully thinking.  *grins*
 

Titles in Series:
Stray
Rogue
Pride
Prey
Shift
Alpha

Updates

Right now just to get back into reading, I'll be posting an author and listing their books.

Movies and Tv Shows

I just used Google Docs to create a list of all the movies and tv shows that I own.
I still need to add a few that my parents have borrowed.

Movies : 332 dvds (roughly; some of these have more than one title in the case)
Tv Shows: 60 (35 different shows)

Now I need to go through these and figure out which ones I still haven't watched... even though i may have owned it for years. LOL

Brand New Year....

Lets start this again.
I'm going to try to keep a better track of what i've read and listened to this year. I'm gonna start rereading a few books too.

I've been thinking about keeping a list of dvds i've watched as well.
