It's Just Not the Same

As you can see, it's been ages since my last post. Some of the blame rests with my extended lack of blogging energy and creativity. The rest of the blame rests solely on my sudden antipathy when it comes to reading. While I was once a voracious mystery reader, now I find it a chore to even pick up a book to start it. And, sadly, that includes my very favorite mystery series...all of them.

Take, for instance, the new Janet Evanovich book Fearless Fourteen. I like to say I discovered this series from the outset...when no one had ever heard of this new mystery author. I've read each and every book in her series and would always be the "first one on the block" to go out, buy the newest title and then finish it within a day.

So, here Fearless Fourteen is released and it takes me more than a week to buy it. Then it takes me a few days to begin to read it and I'm less than halfway through it. And what am I doing right now instead of taking some time to sit down and read? I'm blogging! Go figure...
