What I Am Reading Now
Here is your update on the books I am currently reading. As you can see, lately I haven’t had much reading time.
Doctor Who: The Shooting Scripts - Scripts for season one of the new Doctor Who. I’m currently working on episode one.
Getting Started as a Freelance Writer by Robert W. Bly - It’s pretty much what the title says. So far, the book is pretty straightforward, and the author doesn’t sugarcoat anything.
Scaredy Squirrel by Mélanie Watts - A picture book about a neurotic squirrel. Very silly.
Million Dollar Baby by Amy Patricia Meade - The first in a new mystery series. I saw it on the new books cart at work, and I was intrigued by the description on the back. I’m halfway through chapter eight. It has gotten a bit slow.
Lulu Dark Can See Through Walls by Bennett Madison - This is also a mystery. The first two pages are hilarious and will suck you in. Luckily, book club got moved to this week. I haven’t had time to finish this one yet.
Cooking to Hook Up by Ann Marie Michaels and Drew Campbell - This is a most unusual cookbook. It takes a the idea of cooking to impress to a new level. I’m thinking that it would work.
Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Swordsman Romantic Story by Nobuhiro Watsuki - I’m on book seven now, and I’m getting slightly worried. (There are twenty-eight in this series of manga).
So, there you go. These are the books I am working on now.

The NEW Dr. Who? *faints* Hehe.
Let me know how the Freelance Writing book goes. There are so many of the “How to be/do” books that the selection can be a bit intimidating.

As opposed to classic Who, yeah. :p
And the freelance book *is* a bit intimidating, but at least i already know that I can work after I come home from work. I do that now.

Lol, spending too much time blogging rather than reading?

Sad but true, Keith. Sad but true.

How many books on the go at once?!?!
I think my maximum is about 3 :S
I’ve probably read more since I’ve started blogging, it’s renewed my love for the written word. Less Ps2 though

Well, I have this habit of starting books that look interesting even if I am already reading several others. Sometimes this means I don’t finish others :(, but I’m trying to be better about that.
