Reading

AAARGH
I have lost my crafting mojo. My muse. My creativity fairy.
I wish I could find it.
I have been trying to sketch. Everything looks like a pre-school scribble. I have been trying to sew. What is a straight seam? I have been trying to paint. You don't even want to see that catastrophe. So where did it go? That thing that makes me see a concept and run with it?
Of course this is not the first time I have experienced this particular malady. The only cure is to wait it out. "What about that long list of projects?" you may well ask. Well, for now I guess they are on the back burner until this wayward 'thing' returns. There are a couple things that I can do that do not require any thought what-so-ever, that knitting I am trying to do. (trying is the operative word there.) One row knit, one purl, repeat. I am afraid I will drop stitches though, and unfortunately my tendinitis is playing up whenever I do too much, say over 10 rows. I broke my wrist when I was sixteen and it really hurts when I over use it, any kind of twisting and I am in pain, compounded by any other thing I try to do instead. Typing for instance.

So the last week has been spent reading. I went through the twilight books again, all four. Just because there was nothing else of interest in my collection of hundreds of books at the time. I might have to resort to the wheel of time series again ( I love love them), but I was holding out until the new book was due to be released. If Brandon Sanderson does as good a job as I think he will it will be worth the wait. His Elantris is awesome and Mistborn is thrilling.
I have too many Nora Robers/JD Robb books to count, in fact I just got one of her series in the mail from paper back swap, but they will not last out the week.
I have Janet Evanovich number series and most of her between the numbers books. those are funny. I worry that I will wake hubby up with my giggling that that shakes the whole bed with my laughter at the antics of her characters.

Well, there is a look into my current reading trends. I have a lot more that I read, just my favorites of the minute.
