No, I Don’t Have a Problem

I just came home with these books from Target. I’m apparently trying to reconnect with my love of poetry as well as my love of horror. Watering the Soul had me tearing up at the store. It’s beautiful. Heartstopper is something entirely different and my kids are reading them as well, so…

And yes, these are also new books I’m itching to read. I quickly finished the Anita Blake book I was on so I could start one of these, but instead, I’m reading the next Blake book. They have that effect. Plus Edward- I mean Ted Forester- is in this one! (The Killing Dance).

What’s really funny, is I showed my mom The Butchering Art while she’s visiting and she asked if it was her book. She just read it a bit ago and I just bought it. We’ve done this a few times. I mean, it’s not like I got any of my tastes from her or anything. (She loved it, so I’m even more excited!)

Then I’ve got this one in my purse for emergencies. Plus another book I keep in my work bag (The Menopause Manifesto) in case I have time for some reading there.

I feel some guilt for the amount of books I have been buying recently, but I swear I’m done for a little while. The kids are going back to school and I’ve got a book to write. Until then, I know what I’ll be doing.
