I seem to be caught in a whirlpool of "should" with a little "ought to" thrown in - and that's just never a good mix because it means that, most often, I seek solace in books and end up doing neither what I should nor what I ought.

I have, however, been doing some lovely reading lately. (Though I'll spare you reviews as I know I do too many of those already - but I have a hard time turning down free books when all I have to do is read them and then tell people my opinions. Cause I love to read. And I have lots of opinions. And I've never really been shy about sharing them. I know that last comes as a bit of a shock.)

Of course, I say I'm going to spare you the reviews - but let me backpedal a little and say that I'm reading a mystery anthology of short stories (Death Dines in) and, while I'm normally not an anthology kind of gal, nor am I normally a short story kind of gal, I'm enjoying just about all of the stories and have found a few authors that I'm going to have to investigate further. Which is, of course, the whole reason authors participate in anthologies in the first place. What's even better is that I paid a whole quarter for it at our church yard sale. Definitely got my money's worth out of this one!

On top of that, I'm fighting a funk. There's no good reason for the funk - though perhaps I could blame all of the lovely rain we've been getting. (If you push aside the fact that, generally, I love rain and it's much more likely to make me happy than said. But still.) And that is probably the real root of the lack of posting lately - funks just aren't good company. (But hey, at least if I decide to eat them, I have plenty of worms available!)
