Book Smarts

It was my initial plan to read more in 2010, but a little roadblock has come between me and my new year's resolution. I need suggestions for books! Walking into my neighborhood bookstore has gotten a bit overwhelming.

"Why, hello there thousands of books. How do you do?"
Let the awkward silence commence.

There's far too many to pick from, and I simply don't want to be disappointed once I do choose. So, please leave any suggestions of books you love. I will be so thankful...

Keeping Busy

What's a girl to do when her boyfriend/best friend is off working on a film for a month? Well, I was hoping you could help me with that question. I'm a bit bummed from his absence, but I'm going to try to stay busy with...

1. Subway Scrabble
I'm bound and determined to be a winner, and hope is a great distraction.

2. Autumn cleaning
Pretty sure I should stop throwing clothes on the floor after I'm done wearing them for the day. Lots of days=no floorspace and a cluttered closet.

3. Read unfinished books.
As much as I hate having a half read book on my nightstand, I hate not loving the book I'm reading a lot more. Several people recommended Survivor by Chuck Palahniuk (Fight Club), but the main character is irritating, the satire is lost on me, and I keep waiting for something to perk my interest. I'd much rather read The Lovely Bones for the 3rd time...yup sounds like a plan.

4. D.I.Y Necklace
I've had this idea for a necklace for a while, but I haven't got the ball rolling yet. It's time to be crafty.

Any suggestions to help me pass the time?
