Bookmarks

 I have always liked bookmarks but recently I have become a little bit obsessed with them. LOL! If there is a free bookmark in a bookstore I definitely pick it up. I also get one for each of my daughters. In fact, one of my daughters and I even started making our own. It has become a very fun activity to do together. We have more than enough bookmarks though so we have started sharing them with friends and family. Do you have a fun little thing like this that you have wound up sharing with others?

Reading Rut

 I am currently in a reading rut. I don't like when this happens but it does - at least once per year. I keep picking up books I think I am going to love but I haven't been able to get into anything. Usually when this happens to me I can get out the rut by reading a favorite book or picking up something I haven't read by an author I love. Sometimes I get out of the reading rut by choosing a book from a favorite genre. 

I think what I am going to do in order to hopefully get out of this reading rut is choose one of the In Death books by J.D. Robb. This is my favorite series of books. I adore the characters - especially Eve and Roarke. I also love the police procedural and investigation aspects of the series. I also love the faster pacing of the stories in this series.

What do you do in order to get out of the inevitable reading rut?
