Enigmatic.Poetess

Lately, I’ve been focusing so much on poetry, reading, photography, family updates, sorting holiday photos, helping around the house, and trying not to neglect my husband so much…; that I have really been neglecting the online world! This isn’t a travesty in any manner, but it means that I don’t chat with friends as often nor share enough artwork or writing as I once promised to do. Some day, I shall find balance in life, but I fear I shall have to delay that as I have great need of sorting all my worldly belongings! I have a library’s-worth of books, tons of art supplies I don’t have time to use, excess clothing I need to donate/rummage/etc. and so very much more to sort! I need to simplify my life!

Beyond that stressfulness, though, I’ve managed to read 6 long novels in the past two weeks. And, for no real reason at all, I’m reading Little Women…and, after that, Treasure Island. I don’t know why I’m regressing to such simple books, but I’ve read so many plot-thick books lately that I needed a break.

Books I Recommend Because I Can:
1. the Earth’s Children series (5 so far) by Jean M. Auel
2. Virtual Mode (Book One of Mode Series) by Piers Anthony
3. Jumping to Conclusions by Sarah Challis
4. The Lost Garden by Mary Stanley

I still WANT to and MUST read:
1. the rest of Piers Anthony’s Mode Series
2. Jean Auel’s next book (when she’s done!!)
3. Pride and Prejudice
4. Like Water for Chocolate
5. Como Agua para Chocolate
6. Cien Años de Soledad by Gabriel García Márquez
and SEVERAL other books that I can’t name off the top of my head….
