Enchanted

When was the last time you got really good and engrossed in a good book? I hope it hasn't been that long because there is just nothing better than a good book.  We have had quite a few rainy days lately and I have just been reading them one after another.  I kind of wish I had a Summer Reading List like we did in school so I had a good recommendation list to go on.  Lately I have been reading things I stumbled upon in the Kindle Store or newly published books from authors I have read before.  I just finished reading Inferno by Dan Brown and then Revenge Wears Prada: The Devil Returns by Lauren Weisberger and then another one by her called Everyone Worth Knowing.  I also read the infamous The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien which I had wanted to reread for a long time.  I even gave Nicholas Sparks another go reading The Best of Me which I am sad to say was pretty much like reading The Notebook again.  I also have to of course mention the series that I just read; Enchanted, Inc by Shanna Swendson which is seven books that are the most fun and easy read I have read in a while.  I loved it and flew through all of them - sleep and responsibilities be darned!  So fun to lose yourself in a story for a while, just hang out with those characters and go on their adventures with them - all with in the comfort of your home.
I have always been passionate about reading and there was a time when I was extremely passionate about writing as well.  I am always thinking about writing something, the problem is that I never actually do it.  I have thought recently that I must just not want to do it bad enough if I continue to NOT write when I have down time when I certainly could be writing.  I could totally write every day if I wanted to.  Which I do want to...but, then I don't do it! So, I am tossing around an idea of setting aside a certain time of day everyday (or at least my days off) to write.  Just plant myself at the computer with Word open and just start typing.  I have to do something.  I am just floundering around here anyways...what if I started writing everyday and somehow it helped me find myself.  Kind of like Julia & Julia where she starts a cooking blog and cooks a recipe everyday for a year and somehow she comes out of it having discovered a lot about herself and what she wants.  Hmmmm....
I'm sure this is not at all an original thought since I'm sure thousands of people attempted that concept after that movie came out and probably way before that as well.  Nonetheless, I need a plan.  I need something...

Nothing makes me want to write more than when I am reading a book.  On to the next read!
This was on the Kindle daily deals the other day and I am jumping into it next: Jonathan Tropper's One Last Thing Before I Go
