January is almost over and Ive read 3 books.

The black house by Stephen King and Peter Straub. Its a sequel to the novel The Talisman.


I recently gave my husband a short list of books I wanted to read for him to check the library system where he works. None of them are in the database so no luck there, but he looked online to try and buy them for me. some of them are older and out of print and too expensive now, but he did find one from my list and one other by an author I was interested in. So he bought them for me.

The painted Darkness by Brian James Freeman. I have yet to read but I'm looking forward to it.

The other book is Four legs in the morning by Norman Prentiss. Its an out of print book and my copy is a signed advance copy. The book has three short stories all connected by a strange University Professor. The stories are strange but enjoyable for a quick read.


I have just finished reading The Chalk Man by CJ Tudor. A bit of a spooky thriller that has you second guessing yourself the whole way through .



I am now about to resume reading the True Blood/Sookie Stackhouse books by Charlaine Harris. I left off from reading them earlier last year and am starting on book 4 Dead to the World..

A new start for my blog and for myself.

I'm a stay at home mother of two, one of which is autistic. I give alot of love and care to my family, which is why I dont have the spare time to get out and about for too long.
As a result of all this, I tend to get bogged down and stifled. I have many things, I enjoy doing, or wish to try but then I put so much thinking into what I want to do, that I seem to get frozen, and start to get all fretful about what I want to do that it makes me get stuck unable to get started on the item and then it just ends up left on my desk for weeks until something else comes along to pick up the same pattern.
I think alot of my problems is that I have the tendency to feel lonely and spend all my time seeing what others have got or have done and yearning to have or do similar. I spend so much time projecting my wishes outwards that I forget to be happy within myself and my means.
Ive gone through so much heartache and the pains of friendlessness that I forget to be my own friend first.
This is why I have decided to start this blog. I have so many things I enjoy doing but I just need to start doing those things again.
I don't know if anyone will want to read it, but I hope my blog sharings will enable me to  be more proactive in my hobbies.

There, I've got past that first hurdle of blank page fright.
If anyone finds this blog, I hope you will become a regular visitor and post comments.
