Dear John...or Calamity Physics.

Alright, I give up. I should have realized that I wasn't going to win this battle, but I didn't want to admit defeat...and I have to at this point.

Calamity Physics, you win. Or maybe you lose, I don't know. Point is, I cannot stand to finish you right now. I'm about halfway through you, and I just can't deal with it. Don't get me wrong - when I'm reading you, you maintain my interest. But when I am not with you, you don't stay in the back of my mind, keeping me thinking about when I'm going to be able to spend more time with you. The thing is, I do feel this way about other books. I hadn't even started reading other books, and I was already thinking about when I could. That isn't fair to either of us. So I'm moving on.

So, anyway, now I'm reading One Fifth Avenue by Candace Bushnell...I will probably finish this week....I'll let you know how it goes. I think it will serve as a good rebound book.

I promise I haven't forgotten about you

I am still reading Calamity Physics. Work has been insane lately. I am repeating this for about the 20th time, but I had worked 40 hours this week by the time I left work last (Tuesday) night. So you get a general idea of how busy I've been lately. Not much time for reading.

I promise I'll write about Calamity Physics when I am done. I am trying to finish ASAP because I have books lined up to be next that I'm excited about...among them:
  1. One Fifth Avenue by Candace Bushnell
  2. Oxygen by Carol Cassella
  3. Sway: The irresistible pull of irrational behavior by Ori and Ram Brafman
  4. Being released May 5th -- Pretty in Plaid by Jen Lancaster. I will definitely be adding this one to my collection!
