A Lifelong Obsession!!!

Okay,  I know it has been FOREVER since I posted to this blog.  Chalk it up to working full time for the last year.  This minor blip on the radar has not derailed my reading, just my blogging.  Since I was working so much, I did not have the mental energy to devote to finding new books to read.  So, I went back to the old standbys.  Here is what I have read in my long absence from blogging about my pathetic addiction to ink printed on paper in the shape of letters. . .

Harry Potter (probably about the 10th time I have read this series)
The Hunger Games (time #3)
Twilight (time #?-I know I'm a little embarrased too)
The Kingdom and the Crown (too many times to count)
The Fire of the Covenant (see comment above)
The Lord of the Rings (about 4 times with this latest go-round)
Inheritance Series (still irritated he wrote 4 books when he was supposed to write 3)
The Host (at least a couple of times)
. . .more, I am sure, but can't remember. . .

SO. . .with my new found extra time on my hands (ha ha) I am looking for suggestions for new books.  Don't even mention 50 Shades of Grey, it sounds absolutely trashy from what I have heard.  Here is a short list of things that look interesting to me, let me know if you have any suggestions of anything else that would tickle my grey matter.

The Romanov Prophecy
Excavation
The Return
Russian Winter
In the Garden of Beasts
Dixieland Sushi
The Devil in the Junior League

Happy reading everyone.  BTW, I am no longer going to torture myself with books I "should" read from the classics.  I may start that again, but if it takes more than 5 chapters for me to get into the book, I will give it up as a bad job.  Catch you on the back jacket flap!
