Swimmer girl in

Really enjoyed being a part of this group last year. Planning on reading books from my bookshelf, my Nook, and try to stay away from bookstores and those enticing library shelves. Although I think if I wasn't at the library at least once or twice a week they might send a posse out. The joys of a small town library.

Sitting here reading as I wait for the new year (mountain time). Happy New Year to everyone and I'm glad to be a part of this group.

>1 swimmergirl1: & >2 swimmergirl1: Happy New Year to you, too! :) And I wish you the best at sticking with your own books this year. I'm trying to do that as well.

Happy New Year and welcome back!

1. Furiously happy: A Funny Book About Horrible Things by Jenny Lawson.
Unfortunately my first book was one of my worst. Really didn't like this book. Read it for an online book club.

>5 swimmergirl1: Oh bummer. :( I remember checking that one out at the library last year, but I never read it, just flipped through it. I'll keep that in mind if I ever give it a second try. *fingers crossed book #2 is better* :)
